Wet Behind the Ears: Adventures of a Runaway Sailor

This book was recomended to me by the Harbour Master in Raratonga, and as a former "Old Salt" myself - I loved it. Peter's easy told tale tells of conning his way onto his first ship and the new life he finds whilst sailing the Oggin. As the voyages unfold, a generous cast of characters help transform the wee Kiwi lad into a seasoned seaman. I didn't know any of his shipmates, but I knew many like them. Most are gone now - like the ships they sailed, but they live on in Peter's fine memoir - "Well done that man!"
