Sailors are a peculiar lot. They tend to be more self-sufficient, relying on their boat handling skills to get them from here to there and back again, in spite of where the wind is.

The words of renowned sailors, writers, philosophers, and leaders are examined in the light of their applications to sailing and more important to life.
Working for a Fortune 500 company, I was excited to see that many of the points that Randy spoke about were in harmony with my learning for my work life. His message is about simple, but often missed truths: how we treat each other, what team is all about, and priorities.
