These pages are about ships and the sea, from my own experiences. They commence with me going away to sea in 1952, and my time as a Cadet, then Apprentice Navigator, on Oil Tankers and Passenger/Cargo Ships, through various other types of ships, and promotions from 4th. Mate, through to 3rd. Mate, 2nd. Mate, 1st. Mate, Captain and Ship Owner. I have tried to make it chatty, with some humour, rather than Academic content, and included highlights along the way, such as being in Australia on my wedding day, while the marriage was in England (Oh oh!), a Stranding in Indonesia, nearly sinking in the Thames Estuary, on fire in the Oil Fields, 'Crossing the Line', and being sentenced 'to be hanged' in Borneo...     ...but they didn't, well, not by the neck anyway! (:o))
