A Mariner's Tale At Sea And Ashore

During my sea life as an engineer I read many books and magazines and listened to the BBC programs in the evening. It never came to my mind that I would ever write a book myself. I did not keep a diary. Everything I wrote was from my memory with some help from my service record book. Only a few years ago I wrote a few short stories on Facebook. All my friends who read my pieces encouraged me to write more. A few even asked me to get together all my stories and publish in a book form. I do not think myself as an author. So here I am.
