**CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN — WE THESPECIES**
*Hosted by Calvin Schwartz*
Meet ALISON GIESCHEN. “The universe- synchronicity- had ahand in this interview. I always like to invoke it in special circumstances. Ididn’t fully process Alison when we connected a few weeks ago. Yes, she’ssailing the sea. I checked where I stood in the interview count. I knew it wasclose to 500 interviews. I looked this morning. Alison’s interview is my 500thon six continents in six years. Fitting and Proper that she was on deck near asmall island close to Tahiti, with the azure, blue Pacific right there. Alisonand her husband Dan (Jersey folks like me) have been sailing the world foreight years. Sold everything to do this. There is so much here. Adventure.Perfect storms. Things you could never contemplate. I was mesmerized, and I’vebeen around the block. By the way, there is a movie here for sure. Alison iswise, charming, eloquent, passionate, incredibly real, and down-to-earth (anddown to the sea). And a prolific author. She’s chronicling these adventures andyears in ‘Riding the Waves of Reality-Tales of Turmoil and Triumph Blue WaterSailing.’ And Children’s books. Now I’dlike to throw in a few words and thoughts to entice. Her dream was to sail. Aswas Dan’s. Visiting atolls and very happy people. Theodore Roosevelt. Her favoriteauthored book: Seven. Ireland and COVID. The Azores and crossing the Atlantic.And the 40-foot waves in the Gulfstream. Horrible fishing nets for 60 miles.Horses see inside of people. Manta Rays and gentility. Writing music. Our livesdepend on each other. She told me to take the Queen Mary. Enough said. Justwatch this. AND a bright light bulb. Alison can come back here whenever. Here Isit and wait.” Calvin
