Down Mexico Way (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This is the diary of the Scottish captain of a Mexican rig (tug & barge) shipping bad grain that the US Government were donating (dumping) in Mexico! We were hauling it from the Mississippi River and the Houston Ship Canal "...Down Mexico Way..." to the Yucatan Peninsula. It's also the story of five different and distinct cultures: Mayan, Texan, Filipino, British and Cajun (from the Mississippi Delta) in perpetual, often confused conflict, exacerbated by the rig's mechanical and technical shortcomings which could, in an instant, turn the most ordinary of manoeuvres into a lethal game of chance. It also has its crazy comedy moments as the Scottish captain strove to make these different and distinct factions, somehow work together.

Autorenporträt

I spent most of his working life at sea, interspersed with ten years as an airline navigator (obviously before the TomTom came along). Originally from a sheep farm in the West Highlands of Scotland, I now live between London and Mojacar (Almeria province) - which I now love.

I've always dabbled at writing and now it's my new career!
