From Boys 2 Men, an Adventure in Paradise

By Marshall B. Lubin

From Boys 2 Men is an unforeseen journey of inspiring adventure, egregious motivations, sexual entanglement, physical adversity and near-death encounters, it was also a learning experience that could not be replicated in any educational institution. From Boys 2 Men is the audacious tale of two young boys, age seventeen, that leave their parents nest to embark on a surfing safari to Hawaii. Dissatisfied with the poor surfing conditions on Oahu in 1964, they search out better waves in American Samoa, a place they had never before heard of. They leave Samoa on a 78 inter-island cargo boat and later join a 56 ketch owned by twenty four year old John. The three youngsters had the sailing adventure that young men only dream of. Episodically sharing those adventures was John s wife, a nineteen year old Tahitian beauty, in a saga of love on the high seas. Boat fires in Samoa, a near sinking in Fiji, a major tropical cyclone in Australia, hunting butterflies in Papua s outback and a gut-wrenching hurricane in the North Atlantic greet them on their serendipitous journey. Life s lessons taught on a grand scale with players from over fifteen nations. This book has been written as a motivator to young people to go out and explore the world. In current terminology-Just Do It , Yes We Can and Carpe Diem "From Boys 2 Men is a finalist at the San Diego Book Awards to be announced in mid-June.
