It stretches from his youth as an apprentice sailmaker in San Francisco and his first voyage around Cape Horn in 1909, to his work as a pioneer of small-craft marine-surveying in Seattle after World War II. Within it are scores of smaller tales. He loved telling them as he took the voice and gestures of characters and demonstrated the heft of a line or height of a mast. He had an eye and ear for detail. This, and a common-sense approach to business, for 40 years kept him busy in the surveying trade and in restoring and sailing classic vessels. A highlight of his career was overseeing restoration and captaining the crew that in 1957 sailed the cod-fishing steam schooner C.A. Thayer to San Francisco.
