There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea.

I want to visit the sea!

Not as many as I got my FAA license when I lived in the US back in the mid 80's. I had a little software company there that developed a cost plus fuel purchasing management software used by big trucking companies. This was in the time before the internet and the software would connect to the fuel distribution rack data in Minnesota and the truck stop billing system ComData via dial up modem from each companies headquarters location. So I flew to different clients locations every week to install the software and train a company employee to use it. I bigger company bought me out in 1989. (Suddenly feel old.)

Don't get me wrong flying was fun at times, but it was mostly work related, so the stories are less interesting or fun except for a few that are weather, or airport related which I don't know if people who have never flown would find that interesting.

I did lose the engine once and had to land in a field in Arkansas, but I was flying a rented Cessna 172 so as they glide forever with out power it was not a big deal. Of course I was glad I could just call the place I rented it from to come get it. Because I would not have wanted to try and fly it out of that field. I considered myself a pretty good sea Captain but I was only a so so pilot even after logging almost 700 hours in various single engine planes.

I do not have any digital photos of this time to post as it was way before digital cameras.
So I would need to scan the photos I do have.

I wanted freedom, open air, and adventure. I found it on the sea.

Ah yes, the fresh air! Sit back and absorb every bit of wave, and mile of water. I'm planning a trip to Laguna Beach in March at the Montage for my wife's birthday, REALLY looking forward to it.

Honestly, those kinds of things do interest me! I've seen every episode of Mayday / Air Crash Investigations! That's a pretty fun story though, thanks for sharing

BTW where are you getting these from?

They're actually very good right?

Although I sold my sailboat back in 2013, if you find yourself down this way (Puerto Vallarta) with a few $$ to burn. We can rent a 40'sh sailboat and I'll take you and up to four more people out to sea.
(I promise to bring you back)
