Our latest Third Age Expeditions column for Luxe Beat Media is alive and kicking online. Unknown Titanic of the Pacific details Alaska’s worst maritime disaster occurred 100 years ago on October 24, 1918 when Canadian Pacific Railway’s steel-built coastal steamer, SS Princess Sophia, ran aground at dawn on Vanderbilt Reef during stormy seas and a blinding winter blizzard. When she slipped beneath the frigid waves on October 25th, she took all 366 souls onboard with her. https://lnkd.in/gdw2_kE

Third Age Expeditions: An Explorer’s Life Laid Bare

Posted on Comments are off

An Explorer’s Life Laid Bare

A few weeks ago, I was approached to author a monthly column for “Luxe Beat Magazine – Where Quality Meets Luxury.” I accepted and we agreed on naming the column “Third Age Expeditions,” which will primarily be about exploratory travel adventures and doing some “off the beaten path” things you may never have thought of doing before. In their own words, “Luxe Beat Magazine is the premiere resource for all things luxury. Our writers travel the globe to uncover the absolute best that the world has to offer. With content provided by a consortium of the most esteemed and talented writers in the luxury and travel industry, Luxe Beat offers an uncommon perspective.”

If you get a chance, show us some love and check out our column. Don’t be shy. Please feel free to leave some eloquently written, embarrassingly glowing, comments that would even make one of the sixteen vestal virgins who were leaving for the coast blush. Of course, I remain open to answering the front door bell for couriers delivering a gratuitous bottle of single-malt scotch to fuel my Hemingway-esque sort of general malaise that only the genius possess… and the insane lament. Cheers! ?
