Hi Phil,
I finally received, read and enjoyed many aspects of your book. The way it was, even though I only was active in BF at the bitter end. While many may think aspects were exaggerated, I can confirm from mates that it was how it was! Ringbolting, Aussie Coast etc. I only ever got to the Middle/Far East, US West and East Coast, Panama, Suez. I always have regretted that I never docked in the 'Pool/B'head, to invite my Dad aboard. Indeed, I never touched a UK port, being on Barber Blue Sea, out of New York.
Take care and enjoy your retirement! Maybe you can take your Royalties down for one last night at Ma Gleason's or another dive!
Best Regards,
Dave
