The 505 sailor? He sure gets around.

He certainly does, and the old man is slightly envious at times, but
he got a *much* earlier start than I did. We took him on his first
sailing cruise when he was 6 weeks old and it apparently made an
impression on him. When he was about 5 y/o he got smacked in the head
by the boom on a friends J24 and that definitely made an impression,
but nothing that couldn't be fixed with a few stitches in the
emergency room. His mother was not amused.

He was writing magazine articles for Sailing World while still in
college and has made a lot of contacts over the years.
