It was only during his cadetship that he realized that a navigating officer at sea became a deck officer when the ship was in port—no fancy uniforms involved.
Steadily, eventually gaining his qualification as master mariner at the age of twenty-nine, he took command of one of many gas tankers at age thirty-one.
He gave up sailing at age fifty, when he wrote and had published, Four Times a Scapegoat (ISBN No 1 905226 15 2).
The book exposes the corruption and pollution that he was expected to comply with but getting the blame for others, including maritime fraud.
He now lives quietly with his wife in his beloved Scotland. The book Where Did You, Come From? is a combination of nonfiction and fiction.voir moins
