On leaving deep sea many years ago I moved into ferries. Initially two weeks on one week off, then week on week off and eventually having been transferred to the Dover to Calais run, day on day off with a week of nights and a week off each 28 days. No domestic problems for me!
I fill in some of my time by driving around Kent on my friend’s traction engine. Until fairly recently I drove standard gauge steam trains on a preserved railway but at 75 I decided that it was a bit too much like hard work!
