Publisher Description: Sailing Adventures is the true account of my aunt and uncle as they travel through the various atolls, islands, and countries of the South Pacific. Their journey begins in the Marshall Islands and progress through stops in Tuvalu, the Solomon Islands, Fiji, Vanuatu, and Australia. The story contains interesting history of various places where terrible battles were fought during World War II. They also explore underwater caves and experience the customs of local islanders as they seek permission to anchor in their waters. Some of the natives they encounter had never seen white people. Although, I've written several short stories, I have not published a book before. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management (May 1997) and worked as a carpenter and building contractor for over twenty years. I wrote a Letter to the Editor arguing against mountaintop strip mining and it was published in the Louisville Courier-Journal in 2005.
