I believe this book will have an appeal to a wide range of readers. Those interested in social history and what it was like to serve in the Merchany Navy in the 1960s will find some fascinating stuff. Followers of the famous 'Blue Funnel Line' will appreciate my stories.

I have a reputation for being there when things go wrong, and there were some of my working colleagues, who preferred to travel with others, as they feared some form of disaster might occurr.

Humour has played a major part in my life, and I have detailed many of the things which have amsused me, whilst I have been married to my dear wife Pat.
