Description
After twenty years at sea, Bob Jackson has gained a wealth of experience. His memoirs take him from sailing peacefully across the Indian Ocean to being trapped in a war zone. Here he recounts life at sea changing from leisurely days of general cargoes to hectic computerised containerships. He seems to have done it all - rescuing people from danger, dredging aggregates in the North Sea and 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 relates to his experiences climbing up through the ranks. In this book, he flees the USA to avoid arrest, assists rescuing a ship's crew when their ship sinks in pack ice and navigates the challenges of the Iraq/Iran war. He also shares stories of alcohol-free ships that take away the pleasure of his 'cold beer'.
