“Adventures of a Lifetime” is a memoir of the fifty years of my life after leaving school and comprises an anthology of my exploits and experiences. Over that period my travels took me all over the world. I visited over one hundred countries and sailed the seven seas. I had many thrilling, and sometimes scary adventures ranging from encounters with wild animals in the game parks of Africa to wild and dramatic weather at sea. My journeys ranged from sailing in the Caribbean and Indian Ocean to crossing the Australian desert and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. My business trips took me to North and South America, Asia, Europe, Australia and Africa, where I encountered many interesting people and made lifelong friends. On many occasions I had to negotiate with corrupt officialdom at the many border posts in third world countries. My career was one of frequent excitement and challenges. This memoir is a record of my life and the many adventures that I have experienced on the way.
