Ship to Shore
Logline
A man retires after working 35 years in healthcare. What does he do after spending a career in service to others? He ships out to see the world. He sails oceans and seas, visits three continents, winds up in places both full and empty of tourists, and even end up in some once-forbidden lands. And he recounts these experiences through his dry wit and poignant tales.
