Even as a young boy I had been dreaming to sail the seven seas in my
own small yacht. Up to a point (finances permitting) I have been able to
fulfill this dream. In the 60's and 70's I owned a 23' sloop Chega,
which I kept in the Bahamas, and used to sail and live on each winter for
several weeks
With Chega at Great Exuma, Bahamas
Later, in 1992/1993, I purchased the 29' Caraboi (Khmer for Water
Buffalo, renamed from Sundance) in San Francisco and sailed
it single-handedly across the Pacific Ocean to Kota Kinabalu in Malaysian
Borneo, and then together with Su to Phuket in Thailand. You can read about
this adventure in Voyage to the Promised Land
