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
