I wrote this story during the Iranian hostage crisis. We were heading home after eight months at sea. But when they took the hostages we went five months at sea without a single port visit. We had the longest peace time sea duty in US history. And then President Jimmy Carter flew beer out to us to say thanks. Since there are not a hell of a lot of recreational facilities at sea, I wrote this story to keep my sanity. As a result, this just may be the most unusual adventure story ever written. Anyway, you can read it for free on Yahoo Voices, where it is now published by clicking here.
