Being an adrenaline junkie has pushed me into dangerous undertakings and challenges. Adventures while deep sea fishing, racing motorcycles and boats, hurricane survival, and sometimes just being in the wrong place at the right time, provided unexpected exploits for a risk-taking lifestyle. My fearless wife and partner, Annie, also lived on the edges of survival, with and without me. "Close Calls With Death" offers a facinating collection of true stories as exhilarating to read as the lifestyle we lead.
