Publisher's Synopsis
'All At Sea' describes the career of a ship captain and salvage master from joining his first vessel at the age of 16 when British ships dominated the oceans to his present status as a marine consultant in Hong Kong. Full of interesting characters and incidents, this memoir is told with humour and enthusiasm by a man who claims to have enjoyed almost every day of a career spanning more than 50 years. Alan Loynd describes leisurely voyages on general cargo ships around the Pacific islands, the arrival of the container revolution, life on tankers during the Iran/Iraq War, and the high-pressure world of offshore supply vessels.
