journey from the pound at Homebush to the Siskiyou
Mountains of Oregon. He rode out gales - twice - when

in our 12-meter sloop. He lived in seventeen countries,
and romped on many of the world's best beaches from
Bondi to Boracay. Things weren't always glorious and
fun, of course: Jordy had two almost-fatal bouts of tick
fever in Malaysia. When we ultimately sold our boat to
move to the United States, Jordy had to endure 38
hours in a travel crate, from the small island of Labuan
