Chancy

by Ed Teja, John Pocock, Tom Tsui (Photographer)

Sailing the ocean breeze The partly true story of a passionate sailor and corporate executive -- a real "Flying Dutchman" who struggled to escape the Hong Kong corporate treadmill, and finally broke free of the world's tightest golden handcuffs to follow his bliss, sailing the ocean.

Harper John (aka John Michael Pocock) wrote the song that inspired this story which provides a glimpse of a man living his dream.

Our old colleague and good friend in Hong Kong, Tom Tsui, provided the interior photographs that beautifully illustrate the story.

About the author

Ed Teja has been a boat bum, magazine editor, freelance writer, poet, and musician. And always a traveler, traveling and writing, but seldom writing about travel. Instead he writes about the places he goes, mostly places that lie in the margins of the world. He loves writing about the odd people, the interesting people who inhabit those margins.

took a chancy on this one

A short easy read. Didn’t know what to expect but glad I read it. Could have almost been a character out of a Jimmy Buffet book
