After covering government and crime in south Florida for a decade, he sailed to Washington, DC where he was a naval correspondent for his second professional decade. He has won awards from the National Press Club and Society For Professional Journalists, and a medal from the U.S. Naval Institute for his writing.
Zimmerman learned to sail in a 12-foot boat launched from the beaches of Siesta Key. He graduated to a 20-foot boat (El Guijo) and used it to circumnavigate south Florida (spending months in the Keys, Everglades and Ten Thousand Islands areas). His next boat was a 23-foot sloop (Big Bamboo), which he sailed to Washington and then cruised the Chesapeake extensively. His current boat is a 30-foot sloop, which has cruised the US East Coast and northern Cuba.view less
