The Walkabout Seaman is an energetic, pugnacious, Englishman who grew up in the circus. With a cauliflower ear and a heart of gold, he shares with us his experiences living and scraping by in Spain as a cook, planting trees in the Golan Heights of Israel, hitchhiking to Haifa, cooking for the British Army, finding and losing a wife while working on yachts in Florida, and going to work on a U.S. flag cruise ship in Hawaii. Cheers!
