She bought her first sailboat by weaving coconut palm hats at luaus.\u003c\/p\u003e  Lady Weldon Hedley, aka Bungy (as in bungee jumping) was raised in California right by the sea, where the sparkling blue Pacific was her private swimming pool. With her famous beachcombing dad, the family combed beaches from Mexico to Oregon.  Many celebrities visited their home, which was constructed from driftwood. She met Gary Cooper, Jimmy Stewart, waltzed with Rudy Vallee, and was escorted to her senior prom by Raymond Burr. She even played a joke on Humphrey Bogart.  \"View From the Top of the Mast\" is a humorous tale of Bungy's first twenty-two years of over seven decades of a life filled with the joy of living. Bungy says this book is dedicated to the reader who has a certain sense of adventure that is crying to get out.
