Oceans of Time The Memoir of a Happy-go Lucky Seadog By Dave Share.

Oceans of Time The Memoir of a Happy-go Lucky Seadog By Dave Share.

Publisher: Steele Roberts, Wellington, New Zealand, 2006. Good softback, inscription to inside of front cover, a little creasing and shelf wear, otherwise very good.

Dave Share and his larrikin shipmates visited the exotic ports of the world, finding women, bars, and adventure wherever they went. Sailing into the Cuban Missile Crisis and being discriminated against in South Africa because of his dark skin are just two of Dave's dramas in this rollicking life of a no-holds-barred seadog. Dave jumped ship in New Zealand three times, until he settled here and for the rest of his career plied the Kiwi coast and Cook Strait. He recounts tales and dispels myths about the ferries, their crews, the union and the management - telling it like it was.
