In August 1973, I sailed across the Pacific from Hawaii to L.A. on a 63' sloop. The crossing itself took 21 days without sight of land.

In April 1973, between my sky diving & scuba diving endeavors, I bought a 26' sloop with 3 guys, which we berthed in Redondo Beach.

In 1972, Suzanne telephones me. “Hey Barbara, I am going skydiving! Do you want to come?” If she can skydive, then I certainly can too!

From 1971 to 2009, Stan and I enjoyed 39 years of whitewater adventures on eight rivers in California, Arizona and Wyoming.
