On a global tour that takes him from India to Greece to Africa David tries in vain to keep out of trouble; poaching in the Lake District heli-skiing in Canada taking on the pirates of Nigeria & disguising himself as a nurse in Durban. Gritty & raucous these true confessions of adventures on board a merchant ship
- in the bad old days before regulations made everything ship-shape & orderly
- are a riot from start to finish. A must-read for anyone whos ever dreamt of running away to sea Baboulenes stories will make you weep with laughter.
