About the Author
Cliff spent a lifetime living, travelling and working worldwide in, on and around ships and the sea. The stories are based on those told to his children and grandchildren over the years; on wet weekend mornings, on long car journeys and walking around cities, supposedly on educational visits. He now lives in France and sometimes still gets asked to tell adventure stories when some of the family get together, which is basically the reason for this book.
