Mick the Skipper
<p>Mick Fagan is the type of person that a lot of people know but--they all know a different Mick. "I knew him in Turkey," one might say. "Oh, I bumped into him in Grenada," says another. He gets around. I knew him in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, where he seemed to know just about everyone.</p> <p>Follow along as he talks us through the devastation of Hurricane Irma, before, during and after. The efforts he and his fellow refugees put in to make life bearable--for themselves and one another. And the struggle to put his life back on track after losing everything.</p> <p>Hear how he was cared for by his many friends and acquaintances who supported him in his recovery.</p> <p>It's a stirring story--ending up (for the moment) on the shores of Greece where he's building a new life from the shards of the old. And enjoying every minute.</p> <p><br></p>
