He often spoke later of his experience on the ship to India and the people he met travelling around the subcontinent. He subsequently worked in aviation in Munich, Germany, and in Lima, Peru, before he concluded his career working in airport planning and management. And the Wind: There is an awesome beauty found in sailing Through black of night upon the open sea, Your vessel mauled by unseen waves and trailing Her phosphorescent wake, as steadily, She plows into the darkness, And the wind.
