Über den Autor
William Butler has been sailing all of his life. Born in Havana, Cuba, Bill learned to sail by the age of nine. He worked for GE for thirty-one years, started his own business in 1982, closed his doors in 1989, and then went sailing. He almost didn't make it back. Despite that harrowing adventure, he has continued sailing through the years and, to date, he has logged more than 74,000 miles. HOMETOWN: San Juan, Puerto Rico
