Description

At 17, Bob Jackson embarked on his first voyage to Australia, marking the beginning of an extraordinary maritime career. Over the next twenty years, he faced numerous challenges, including a Canadian winter, wild Atlantic storms, and a Christmas barbecue in Melbourne.

From surviving on a tramp vessel to working on a vast bulk carrier, Bob's experiences offer a glimpse into a world that is largely forgotten today. His remarkable journey spans over two decades, filled with adventure, hardship, and the ever-present sea.

This book is a testament to Bob Jackson's life at sea, a story of survival, perseverance, and the enduring power of the ocean.
