Author, columnist, boat-builder, sailor, world traveler and family man, Peter Muilenburg was living proof that an ivy-league education doesn’t necessarily lead to manning another office desk in a crowded city.
After arriving in the Virgin Islands in 1967, he and his wife Dorothy remained to build boats, found a local school, raise two sons (currently: an M.D. (surgeon), and a St. John attorney (Harvard Law)), then sail — as a family — throughout the Caribbean, the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, down the African coastline and up the Gambia River.
Peter’s passion for the sea, the stars, the boat, his family and the islands themselves, shines through every true tale. The timely insights and the intensity of his experiences are mirrored in his sensuous prose, his ear for dialogue, and his talent for transporting the reader to the place and time of his Caribbean imagination.
Illustrated by his long-time friend, fellow sailor/spirit and photographer Don E. Brown, Adrift on a Sea of Blue Light is available on Amazon.com.
