A Serious Ocean
You know it by the northern look of the shore,
by the salt-worried faces,
by an absence of trees, an abundance of lighthouses.
It's a serious ocean.

Tomorrow will have an island
by William Stafford
Tomorrow will have an island. Before night
I always find it. Then on to the next island.
These places hidden in the day separate
and come forward if you beckon.
But you have to know they are there before they exist.
Some time there will be a tomorrow without any island,
So far, I haven't let that happen, but after
I'm gone others may become faithless and careless.
Before them will tumble the wide unbroken sea,
and without any hope they will stare at the horizon.
So to you, Friend, I confide my secret:
to be a discoverer you hold close whatever
you find, and after a while you decide
what it is. Then, secure in where you have been,
you turn to the open sea and let go.

Consulting/ Presentations
I have
presented more than 100 lectures to a wide range
of audiences around the world. My talks are
invariably humorous and focus on people.
My highly entertaining programs are definitely
not dull travel monologs or technical treatises.

John,
On behalf of the Chicago Yacht Club's Cruising Sail Fleet, we thank you.
We are in your debt: literally and figuratively. You did, as usual, an outstanding job. Your material and presentation style were very well received. And you made it look easy, which is the mark of excellence. Thank you also for coming early to attend the cocktail reception and socialize with our members, which was most thoughtful of you. We really enjoyed meeting your daughter, too. She is delightful. You must be so proud of her.
You should take pride in knowing that your efforts contributed to a fun and memorable evening for the members of the Fleet.
Most sincerely,
Charles
