The fascinating characters that the writer meets are described in his own unique way. The reader quickly becomes familiar with their frequently funny, but often startling, personalities and eccentricities. This real life story is filled with excitement and humour, although sometimes tinged with sadness.
Winstanley arrived back in Canada in 1958 aboard the 'Empress of England'. He then proceeded to sail on an amazing variety of ships for the next 33 years. Some were splendid and luxurious - others dilapidated rust buckets.
A truly great read, these pages hold a splendid selection of exciting escapades from many parts of the world. They are brought vividly to life by their obvious authenticity and the writer's integrity.
