Synopsis

What does a Sailor think about while watching the beauty of the ocean pass by the ship? He thinks of home, the future, what is for dinner, and, "What Was Darwin Thinking?" This book explores those thoughts. I wrote this book in my mind many times while watching wave after wave roll by, looking for sharks or dolphins, or flying fish from the fantails of the fighting ships of the world's greatest Navy. Mixed into these thoughts I have included other stories of my life, mostly Navy experiences. So, set sail in the thoughts of this Sailor and see where the cruise leads us.
