Detailed Product Description
Self published, 2017, 1st edition. 592 pp, b/w photos in the text. Thick paperback, 10'' x 7'' x 1.5'' thick. weighs 3 lbs. A lmost New condition.
Memoirs of a man who found adventure on land, sea and air.
“Where are you from?” That oft-asked question is hard for me to answer. I don’t really have a sense of place, of belonging to any one location. Having grown up in the Dust Bowl of the Canadian prairies during the Great Depression, losing my mother as a child and my father as a teenager, the concept of home does not resonate with me. I have lived or traveled in more than thirty countries on five continents.
I’ve crossed the Atlantic in a sailboat both ways with my wife Mary, and daughters, Jennifer and Margaret. I’ve paddled a canoe through the sub-arctic to James Bay, slept in an abandoned Greek monastery at the foot of Mt. Olympus, drunk Chang — barley beer — with Buddhist monks in the remote Himalayas. I have lost my way on the Incan Trail in Peru, seen the sun rise on Mt. Kilimanjaro, been followed by Tito’s secret police in Yugoslavia.
My first sight of the Canadian Rockies was from the top of a freight car, and I’ve heard loons calling on northern lakes, seen rainbows in the mist flowing into the Grand Canyon. Buried pirate treasure beckoned me to a Pacific island off Central America. I’ve read Homer’s Odyssey while at anchor at Ithaca, listened to Mozart’s Requiem in the cathedral in Vienna, basked in the rich glow of the stained glass windows of Chartres cathedral, scorched my bare feet on the sun-baked marble courtyard of the Taj Mahal. Where’s my home? My travels are my home.
