Capture by Somali Pirates & Other Events at Sea 1954-2010

Description

Having spent a lifetime at sea, and despite his plans to retire on more than one occasion, late in 2007 Colin Darch with a small crew undertook delivery of a new tug from St Petersburg to Singapore, a journey which should have taken ten to twelve weeks. On the first of February 2008, they were captured by Somali Pirates. This book not only tells the story of that incident and his subsequent release, but also many of Colin's other adventures during his life spent travelling the world. His wry outlook on life, and well known ability to hold an audience whilst telling a story, means that this book is filled with humour, pathos and situations that few readers will ever encounter in their own lives.
