Capt Bob Jackson

Opis

After twenty years at sea, Bob Jackson is now master. These memoirs take him from enjoying the odd cold beer sailing peacefully across the Indian Ocean to being trapped in a war zone. Here he sees life at sea changing from the leisurely days of general cargoes to the hectic computerised containerships. He seems to have done it all - rescuing drug runners from the ice, dredging aggregates in the North Sea and finally skippering a 'steamer' on a tranquil lake. This volume is the second of Bob's memoirs covering his service as master on a wide variety of ships. The first book 'I think I'll go to sea' relates to his experiences climbing up through the ranks. In this book he has to flee the USA to avoid arrest for drug smuggling, assists rescuing a ship's crew when their ship sinks in pack ice and gets stuck in the middle of the Iraq/Iran war. He also experiences alcohol free ships which take away the pleasure of his 'cold beer'
