Home on leave and wandering the Saturday shopping streets of British West Hartlepool in the 50s I would spy a fellow I knew. He’d often come out with: ‘Oh! Hello Harry, home from sea again? When are you going back?’
‘When Are You Going Back’ is the title of my third book of seagoing memoir. It appeared on Amazon this week, and follows ‘The Best of Days’ and ‘You’ll See Wonders’. At its close, I’m still at sea – so, with a following breeze, perhaps there’ll be another – who knows?
The cover is from a watercolour by a dear friend. Bill Wedgwood was a fine old seaman from Robin Hood’s Bay. His painting is of Liverpool docks around the late 1950s

Wonderful that your latest book is again in Kindle format. I will be looking for it on Amazon. 73 de France. CL
Thank you, Dick. I’ve an emptiness now it is complete. Perhaps another.
Finished my Kindle edition. Will now purchase a hard copy. Just in case my Kindle “burps”. Ex USAF AACS operator. TDY many places in FE. Johnson Island my atoll 1959. Are you a radio amateur? My calls N2UGB and F8WBD. Been living in France for years. We are abt same age.
That’s good to know, Dick. Please leave a review on the Amazon book page if you are inclined – it helps an author – the algorithms are excited each time there’s a new review, so that the title’s visibility is enhanced.
Alas, I’ve never been a radio amateur – because of too many hobbies already. You look to have had an interesting career. Enjoy France – it will be more temperate than living on this edge of the Yorkshire moors.
Wonderful! The best news this week! Will order today and fingers crossed there will be a 4th memoir of your merchant navy days!!
Thanks, Neil. You cheer this writer on a damp day. I feel the inclination to write another.
Thanks Harry. That would be such good news. The 3rd instalment now on my Kindle for imminent reading!
Best wishes Neil
Well done!
