Leonard Skinner is the co-author (along with his wife Mary Cooney) of Escape Under Sail. Many years ago, he sold everything he owned and bought a boat. Leonard and his family, including 2 teens, lived in a boat and sailed the world for many years. We talked about the meaning of life, human motives/fears and what it was like to live on a boat disconnected from civilization.
