The author was born at home during a violent Pacific storm. His journey takes you through the turbulent war years to the mid 1960's. Lawrence was a child growing up and living in poverty on the wild coast of Western Canada. You will experience the freedom associated with his unusual lifestyle. The story takes place at a time in history when the economy of the great depression had shifted to a new prosperity. Old ways of harvesting timber and commercial fishing for a meagre living were becoming more modern and economically viable. Meet the interesting characters who shared life with the author during these changing times. Go to sea with the crews of various vessels as they sail the oceans and lakes of North America from the boiling tropics to the frozen seas of Alaska. Share in the tragedies of lost ship mates and the excitement of discovering new ports of call as Lawrence travels through the stormy Pacific, Atlantic and islands of the Caribbean.
