R. J. Rubadeau is an award winning author, columnist and poet. His career as a professional blue water sailor has been chronicled by nearly a hundred articles published in over four decades in the world's sailing periodicals. An autobiography entitled "Bound For Roque Island: Sailing Maine and the World" is also being published in 2010. Rubadeau has honed his communication and writing skills in various shore-side occupations: university lecturer, grant writer, newspaper columnist, politician, speech-writer for an Alaskan governor (No, not that one!), public policy analyst, and thirty years as a professional political strategist. Rubadeau and his wife Mary, best friends and partners since their teens, live with their horses and a menagerie of animals at ten-thousand feet in the Rocky Mountains near the town of Telluride, Colorado. They base Dog Star, their family's historic eighty year old wooden ketch, and primary summer preoccupation, on Mt. Desert Island, Maine. See less
