I did do some public presentations many years ago to sailing clubs but don't have plans for more now. I have four books on amazon - Across Islands and Oceans, Bound for Distant Seas, The Next Distant Sea, and Home from Distant Seas. There are lots of videos on my Youtube Channel: Atomvoyager. And there's my website articles at: atomvoyages.com. I'm considering doing a How-to book for fitting out and sailing small boats but can't seem to find the time these days.(less)

“To know a thing you must see it first, and to see you must look with an open mind.”
James Baldwin, Across Islands and Oceans

“Sure, you can stay home and work towards the day when you have the perfect boat, perfectly outfitted, as most people try to do. You might even wait and do your cruising as a retired person clutching a fistful of platinum credit cards on a finely fitted boat filled with expensive gadgets needed to maintain your increased demands for comfort and security. But by that time you are somewhat lacking in the robust health and enthusiasm to fully engage in your long-postponed adventure. If I chose to sail as a young adventurer, poorly equipped in the material sense, I make no apologies. I was well-fitted out in health and spirit. As all sailors ultimately learn, it is easier to prepare a boat for sea than to clear the decks of your life for a voyage into unknown waters.”
James Baldwin, Across Islands and Oceans

“They went on working for the promise of a pension and their “health benefits,” which was ironic in that almost any other job would benefit their health better than any doctor’s pills.”
James Baldwin, Across Islands and Oceans
