A young man's introduction to paradise. During my two year tour aboard the
180 foot Basswood we visited forty-seven islands or island groups in the Pacific and five Asian Nations. It was a
once in a lifetime experience, a lot of which I had the good fortune to experience more than once. That was life in
the U.S. Coast Guard back in the day.
