These chronicles are true stories from my 20-plus years as a United States Merchant Mariner.
It was no accident that I ended up at sea. I’ve loved the ocean my entire life, and long before I joined at twenty-four, I worked on the water and studied it every chance I could. I wanted to see the world. I wanted to meet people from every corner of it. I wanted to stand before every ocean in both its tranquil beauty and its unforgiving power.
I needed challenge. I needed adventure! I found all of it in the Merchant Marines.
