Liu Ning Sheng, skipper of the Chinese junk Princess TaiPing that recently visited Humboldt Bay, discusses his globe-spanning sailboat adventures on Thursday, October 23, at 7:00 p.m. in the Fishbowl at the Humboldt State University Library. The public and the press are invited. Liu and his seven-person crew are embarked on a round-trip sail between Asia and the West Coast. The Princess TaiPing is currently tied up in San Francisco Bay and the crew resumes its voyage shortly, headed for Hawaii and Wake Island. In 2001, ‘Nelson’ Liu became the first Chinese to circumnavigate the globe with a sailing boat.
