I was a seaman, having spent my entire adult life in the Merchant Navy.... 35 years as a ship's captain, to be precise. The sea has been my main source of inspiration for my stories and poems, though I've written other kinds of stories as well. DRIFTWOOD, my collection of sea stories, was published by Readomania in 2019 and well received. That is what this old sea dog wishes to do for the rest of his life... write.
