About Me

  •  As a liveaboard, single-handed sailor who gazes over the horizon, Dennis K. Biby (BY-BEE) has difficulty living in one locale for more than a couple of years. He has survived as a naval officer, electrical engineer, software developer, entrepreneur, and more.  While sailing Sun Po about Hawaiʻi and occasionally anchored off Molokaʻi and Maui, he penned (keyboarded) Molokaʻi Reef.
