All at Sea by John Cooke

Its the late 1960s a decade of Mods and Rockers; Beats and Hippies and full of peace and love. Aged seventeen, John Cooke ventures out on the roads, hitch-hiking around the UK. On the South Coast, he gets caught up with the romance of the sea and foregoes his freedom when he signs away more than nine years of his life by joining the Royal Navy.
John Cooke had a fragmented childhood when his mother left him with his alcoholic father. He left his adopted family after spending time in the Royal Navy and struck out on his own. He attended night school before gaining a degree and a postgraduate diploma. He eventually became a Careers Officer and fulfilled his wish, which was to help other young people with their decision making, and not to make the mistakes he made. John lives in North Wales.
