"I remember growing up in Copenhagen and running around my grandfather's workshop. He was a carpenter, sepcializing in building stairways. He only used hand tools - there were no machines in his shop. My father built a 32-foot sloop and sailed around the world the North Sea. He got caught in a storm, lost his mast, and floated two weeks before he was found. After being towed into shore in Norway, he cut down a tree to make a new mast and sailed home."
