Life without adventure is not really life at all.
The end question is not if I will die but if I have really lived!
" Robert Trafton the original ConchKing passed away in 2017. We are keeping his legacy alive by continuing to create and share our passion for shells and horns. Here is a little bit about my Brother's amazing life: I have lived and worked all over the world. I have delivered large sailboats from Buenos Aries to Sydney, all over Europe and all of the lower Caribbean Islands for over 25 years. I also worked as a ship captain in the Persian Gulf for 10 years. I was cleaning up all of the oil that was dumped there. I was working 2 months on and 1 month off for 8 years. I had an apartment in Monaco and I had my 20 meter Palmer & Johnson Sailboat to play with whenever I was free. I loved that boat and sailed all over Europe, Scandinavia as well as the Baltic. I was also able to sail the entire Mediterranean and the North African coast as well as far south as Cape Verde and around the corner to Ivory Coast and Ghana. While living in St Croix for over 25 years I had my tourist business to the national park on nearby Buck Island as well as a fish freezing business with fish freezing depots on every island from Puerto Rico all the way south to Isla Margarita off Venezuela. During that time I came to know every fishing family, as well as all of the island governments on those islands. As a result, I have the most perfect connections for conch and other seashells of anyone in the USA. During those years I had a virtual fleet of lovely sailboats that I was able to sail throughout the entire Caribbean!"
