Lon also spent several years as a sea captain and holds a 100-ton Coast Guard License. Living and working in the Caribbean, Florida, Great Lakes and the Bahamas had some benefits but one can tend to get a bit of sea water between the ears living that lifestyle so he swallowed the anchor and came back to land.
