Al Miller, R.A. is not a mad man. But he did trade his Dual Masters in Architecture & Business along with a decade of designing skyscrapers and hotels in San Diego, CA to travel to Santiago de Chile to teach English and Eco-tourism, only to fall in love with scuba-diving and the sailing life.

Year 1 is done and included secret bars, 70 days quarantined on SV Falkor and eating stingray.

Set adrift this curious conversation with the Captain of Project Falkor as we chat about planning Season 2 of sailing towards the sailor life.

Da Vinci Was A Curious Bastard

Thinker Featured

Did you know Leonardo was an illegitimate child born during what scholars have called a ‘Golden Age’ for Bastards?

How did he fuel his curiosity? This was a man who believed ‘learning never exhausts the mind.’ That is to say he was always learning. His early years were spent living on his father’s family estate in Vinci. During this period of his life, he was also influenced by his uncle, who had a love of nature and had a hand in rearing him during his formative years. He had a very short formal schooling, he was largely an autodidact.
