There are selections from the front page of the Nassau Tribune, immediately following Hurricane Andrew, an article about falling overboard from a yacht in a snow storm in Cruising World, and an essay in The Concord Review of History (published when the author was 18), the Bahamas Historical Society Journal, and The Mancunian, the magazine of Harris Manchester College, Oxford, as well as the Stylus of Boston College and The Docket of Roger Williams University's School of Law. The stories include accounts of voyages across the Atlantic and Pacific, allowing the reader to follow the author via his journalism from coups in Haiti and the release of journalists from Iraq and to dozens of countries and island groups around the world.
