Biografía del autor

Harold Knoll, Jr. Captain Knoll was born and raised in Michigan, where his free days were spent fishing, hunting, and boating. His dream of sailing to foreign ports developed at an early age. He learned boating and sailing on Lake Macatawa and Lake Michigan. When he retired from teaching and farming, he began to live his dream of sailing around the world. Since then, he has sailed very extensively in foreign lands. He has sailed his 32 ft. sloop over 24,000 miles at the time of writing this volume. When he is temporarily home from his travels, he lives with his sailor wife in Montague, Michigan. Harold Byler, Jr. H. C. Byler learned to sail in the 50's in a sailboat that he and a friend designed and built. He became interested in ocean cruising and recruited friends to rent boats and sail the North Atlantic and Long Island Sound to Nantucket. He later sailed the Northeast Pacific, the Gulf coast of Florida, the Leeward and Windward Islands of the Caribbean, the North Sea, the Western Mediterranean, the Aegean Sea, Black Sea, and the Artic Sea. He has authored several previous books and is applying this experience to assist Captain Knoll to write this book. He lives in a small town in dry West Texas with his sailor wife of 52 years.
