Ishmael

I've been around boats all my life, though much of that has been as a commercial fisherman in Alaska. I bought a boat on the east coast a few years ago intending to circumnavigate. I'm going in stages because I'm not retired yet. I've gotten as far as Tahiti so far, and expect to head for Fiji and Australia in April. Meanwhile I'm at work back in the US.
I've travelled a bit, had lots of different "careers," and lived much of the time in off-the-grid wood heated cabins. I've got a good sense of humor, I love kids and dogs, am really easy to get along with, appreciate intelligent conversation. I'm politically progressive, have two graduate degrees, and have lived an eclectic life. I've had two novels published by a major publisher. I'm divorced with two grown kids. I'm kind of quiet but sometimes I'm not.
