After spending 7 years in the Royal Navy and 22 years in the Fire Service (both acquainting me with water) I arrived in Lyme Regis.  I acted as unpaid crew on local boats in order to qualify as a D.O.T. Boatmaster of the Royal Yatching Association’s Coastal Licence (20 miles) and am a member of the Professional Boatmans Association.
