Don’t miss my humorous and family-friendly book of “Sea Storys,” more or less nonfiction.
A collection of profoundly dumb mistakes and poor forethought.
IF YOU HAVE NEVER;
-Stepped into the ring, looked across and saw Bluto, smiling back at you!
-Rode your motocross bike into a tree, get up off the ground, and say to yourself, “SHAKE IT OFF”, you can grow new skin!
-Jumped out a window without your clothes, because somebody came home early!
-Looked out your aircraft's windshield and saw weeds, upside down!
-Been in 40 feet of black water and your air supply stops. Your mind asks; is this somebody’s idea of a joke? Or should I be concerned?
-Woke up with a horrible hangover and can't remember what you did with your car, or why your nose is broken!
-Looking a shark in the eye and your mind visualizes it wearing a bib!
If you cannot see the humor in these minor disasters! Then maybe this book of Sea Storys is not for you!
About the author:
I quit 10th grade in November 1958 and joined the United States Navy. March 1959 found me at Naval Air Station (NAS) Litchfield Park, Ariz., March 1960 USS Surfbird ADG 383 Sasebo Japan, November 1960 USS Ajax AR6 2nd class Diver/Scuba, November 1961 Sub school as BM/SN/DV, February 1962 USS Quillback SS424, July 1962 USS Thomas A. Edison SSBN 610, and September 1963 discharged EN-3 DV. During my 20 year diving career, I wore the Mark V for seven years at Hunters Point Naval Ship Yard (HPNSY), San Francisco, California. The Navy never learned to use the Mark V. I am proud to be counted among the last generation of Hard Hat Divers. I learned to fly at Half Moon Bay, California, using the GI Bill. Started flying War Birds in 1972, bought into a P51 & AT-6 partnership. Started several business’ and war birds eat up the profits and wives. But it’s been a hell of a ride.
