Mike Riley, in between writing books and sailing the oceans, has been a penguin breeder, a long line fisherman, a car ferry captain, a whale hunter, an industrial spy, a dolphin and sea lion collector, a microbiologist, and the CEO of Husband For Rent. He and his wife, Karen, live on their 41' ketch, Beau Soleil, and can be found anywhere there is blue water and a far horizon.
