About
This Blog…
In an effort to start blogging again I have imported my old blog from blogger. Blogging is by its nature a egotistical enterprise. I accept that. However, I plan to use this blog as more a commonplace book than a public diary.
We’ll see.
The Author…
Born in the ice fields of inner Antarctica, Ryan (as his wife, momma, and the IRS call him) was raised on adventure. By the time he was was twelve he was learning the ways of the sea. After graduating High School, he sailed his square-rigged barque “Hrothgar” on a continuous circumnavigation for six years. When not on board Hrothgar, Ryan could be found trakking across the Rub al Khali, the Amazon basin, or Roman ruins in Northern Africa.
Or so he would like you to believe. Ryan is a dad to two, husband since 1992, and Orthodox Christian since 2001. He loves armchair adventuring, nautical fiction and history, Antarctica, Role-playing Games, and many divers types of music.








Thank you.
For this place.
I am listening.
And praying to learn more of Him.
All is grace,
Ann
