Spencer Merlis
Spencer greatly enjoys the pleasures of getting lost, finding his way, and relating it to his surroundings in nature, history and other landmarks. He is a licensed captain and certified sailing and navigation instructor. Even in NYC he regularly uses his knowledge of the sun, moon, stars, wind, street grids, and other landmarks to find his way, keep his sense of direction sharp, and remember how much the natural world can be integrated into the daily world.
