Left the sea to live in New Zealand with my future wife, settled in Auckland first then on to Napier/Hastings. Worked with glass reinforced plastic ie GRP boats jacuzzis and swimming pools. Came back to UK for a sort break 6 years later after breakdown in marriage and leaving two sons, never went back. Carried on with GRP in the UK until poor health and two new hips put me out of work.
