my name is alex and i am an incorrigible wanderer, wonderer, writer and seeker. i live on the olympic peninsula in washington state, but i recently sailed my 19' sailboat down the gulf coast of florida from sarasota, through the everglades, and on to key west and then back up here to islamorada, where i've been doing sunset charters on a 26' skipjack and getting my boat ready for the summer sailing season in the northwest...i think bookcrossing is a fascinating experiment in sharing and tracking serendipity! i have had a good time telling friends about this phenomenon, and it is regularly received with enthusiasm and interest. long live bookcrossing, and thank you ron hornbaker!
