Portrait

Steve Thomas is familiar to television viewers as the two time Emmy award-winning host of This Old House, Renovation Nation, and Save Our History. He is also an experienced home builder and sailor. Beginning in 1977, he sailed a 43-foot wooden sloop from England to San Francisco via the Panama Canal, Galapagos, Marquesas, and Hawaii. In the early 1980s, he journeyed to the remote Micronesian island of Satawal to learn the ancient technique of star path navigation, an experience that resulted in this book, as well as a documentary for the PBS series Adventure.
