Sailing In The Wind.........

His dreams for life

As a little boy he has had three wishes: to work in Marocco/Africa, to travel around the world and sail across the atlantic all alone.
The last dream came true even for two times! In 1955 he went from Liberia to Haiti with a dugout canoe and in 1956 he crossed the Atlantic Ocean with a simple folding boat everybody can buy in any magazine:

He wrote down his extreme experiences of difficult status` of the mind in his book, his orientation words had been anchored deeply in the unconscious by the autogen training of Dr. Schulz: "course west.... course west....." Then the spray of the waves suggested these words into his automatisms so he could keep oriented. Another sentence: "I will make it!"
