Hells teeth Charlie , just too much going on in my life . BOOK IS ALL BUT DONE Just need to put a kings ransome together and find a publisher willing to take the risk !!!!!!!——-Mark is here on the island with me . Seen dry Martini strutting her stuff but was knackered so put my head down for an hour. Now i am trying to find out if it’s monkey suit or casual tonight at THE SQUADRON ???????
Will keep you informed and up to date for the next couple of days.

Jackie, I don’t know if they have it in England but I know in the colonies here such a thing as self publishing and if you Google it it will help you through the steps of publishing your own book. It doesn’t get the play that you do with a major publisher, you’re able to put out small batches I know that a lady friend of mine now since deceased turned me onto that about 15 years ago when she was doing her books. Maybe your grandchildren can help you with something along those lines best always a Amberjack.

Wow— now that was one hell of a party at the squadron. Miles Jennings and Drew Langdon were there …Alex and the crew —-Eddie Chater and Mike Bellamy——-Craig's old driver James Shepperd and the who’s who of the European offshore race scene .
BEKEN OF COWES was one of my better offshore Mono Hulls and was auctioned off at the dinner ——made £2,500 pounds sterling . Thats the second concept to make over two thousand pounds .
Somebody thinks they are well worth the money.
Excellent dinner and great company. Was great to go out with my son again.
