My family have lived in many parts of England and overseas, because of my fathers job in the Royal Navy. After my father retired from the navy, when l was about nine years old, the family emigrated to New Zealand. I now live with my own family in Melbourne, Australia. I enjoy adventure, travel and exploration, I have a passage inscribed on a plaque, on the console of my boat. It sums-up my wanderlust. How often, oh how often, l had wished that the ebbing tide would bear me away on it's bosom o'er the ocean wild and wide. (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow).
