Born 1956 in Barry, South Wales.              
First went to sea April 1972 as a Catering Boy.
Married to Carol in 1982.
2 children: Gareth (25) and Carys (22).
Lived in Wolverhampton since March 1980.

I have mostly liked my life on the high seas – visiting those places I dreamt about as a lad, meeting nice, indifferent, dour, menacing, jolly people along the way.

But what is the very BEST thing?]]></description>
