- Biography
- I've performed 1,134 wedding ceremonies to date. Designed and hand built the Daedalus, which is USCG certified for 23 passengers. Designed about 200 homes and built a few. Work hard at restoring wildlife and giving tours to schools, teachers and scientists at the Biophilia Nature Center. Restore cars (1950 Jag MkV, '57 MkII, '52 XK120, '48 220 Mercedes salon, '48 220B cabriolet and a couple old trucks and tractors. Restored a 1939 19' Chris Craft barrel back including the 175 Hercules engine). Lots of sailing, mostly West Coast and Gulf Coast with excusions to many of Central America jungle rivers and such. At 78 I have lots of aches but can't stop...! By the way my darling wife Carol, of 40 years, really does most of the work. She's also a photographer, without peer. I have posted over 50 of my own photos, not hers. My present sailing dream is to circumnavigate Cuba solo in my Rob Roy 23, before their culture is destroyed or my body just gives up.
