Water Under the Bridge - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In 1981, Captain Nicholas Day takes command of MV Aero, a former Dutch coaster, working cargo charters around the Caribbean. With only basic and unreliable navigation aids and a moody multinational crew, Aero carries dubious and sometimes dangerous cargoes to destinations in Cuba, Nicaragua, Mexico and Panama – some of which are not on the map.Be it nights out on the wrong side of the tracks in the unsafe streets of Panama’s second city, robbing stevedores, or capture by Sandinista troops, Nick’s encounters with the peoples of Central America are never dull. A journey upriver through Nicaraguan jungle, a carnival in Cuba, black market supplies, affectionate affairs, battles with authority and loss of radio contact at sea all add to Captain Nick’s adventures. Life will never be quite the same again.Reviewers have said of Water Under the Bridge:"a ripping yarn""at times I felt I was literally right there with him in the jungle or wandering Havana"" I read it at a sitting - I couldn’t put it down"The entire proceeds from this posthumous publication are being donated, by the author's surviving brother, to the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen, to further their support to fishing families in Cornwall, where both brothers once worked on fishing boats.
