In the fall of 1943, when the Army transferred his father to Florida, a nine-year-old boy, recovering from a life-threatening case of pneumonia, moved to Clearwater Beach and dove into the Gulf of Mexico and baked in the Florida sun. He swam, learned to row, sail and race, and competed with top Snipe sailors from all over the United States. Nurtured and taught by the Gulf and by a group of skilled and generous men, he grew from a small boy to a young man. His love of sailing, took him to Jamestown, New York; Charleston, South Carolina; West Palm Beach, Florida and Havana, Cuba. He grew up a free-range adventure seeking boy with only a bathing suit for armor, with confidence and discipline taught him by the water.
