For a brief visual tour through some of the settings and characters in my latest book, Prepare to Come About, click this link to Youtube: http://youtu.be/9GH7eIYc2AQ

If you’ve already read the book, you may spot a few familiar faces and places. Most of the images in the video are from the various vessels–but then, who wouldn’t want to see tall ships and old wooden boats?

Many thanks to all of the passengers who sent in some of these pics over the years, as well as professional photographers Aaron Saunders, Didi Miles and Peter James.
