The Sea Was Always There is one man's story about learning from the sea. It includes the joy, pain, victory, defeat, surprises, and humor involved in the process. The narrative spans areas of the globe extending from the east coast of the Indian Ocean, across the Pacific, Caribbean, Atlantic, and into the Mediterranean. The many personal episodes that make up The Sea Was Always There deal with real people, places, and events, and it is based on personal experiences drawn from four sources: two years at sea with the U.S. Navy, sailing in a wide variety of venues, travel to places with deep connections with the sea, and writing about two heroes from the Age of Sail.
