Do something

Born in Luton, England, just north of London to a British mother and a U. S. Air Force officer father, Lakeway resident Chris James has dual citizenship as far as the British Commonwealth is concerned. Maybe more important is the fact that both sides of his extended family have been involved with ships and boats. By the time Chris was in his early teens, his father was stationed in Karamursel, Turkey not far east of Istanbul on the Sea of Marmara. Just north through the Bosporus was the Black Sea. And Chris, already an experienced sailor at 15, worked teaching American military and their dependents sailing and power boating. Asked how much sailing he had done back then, he laughed. “A lot,” he admitted. I was lucky enough to know people and have the chance to sail all over the Mediterranean. We sailed around Cyprus and Crete, just about everywhere in the Mediterranean. Since then, I’ve also sailed a lot in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico.” Any adventures? “Not really, unless you count being capsized by a Turkish navy submarine that surfaced right under me in the Sea of Marmara one afternoon. I was out in a 20-foot centerboard boat and the wind died. I was only about two or three miles from the shore, so I raised the centerboard to make it easier to paddle the boat. When the sub came up, I couldn’t get the centerboard back down, and having it up made the boat really unstable, so it turned turtle. “The sub surfaced, a lookout came out and swept the horizon (there were war games going on between Turkey and the U. S. Nave) with binoculars, waved at me, and the sub re-submerged.
