Sea Story

by Eric Bray

Overview

When I set out to write this particular narrative, it was my intention to attempt to reveal the boredom, tedium, frustration, purposeless bullying, and total lack of privacy that was the Royal Navy in the 1970's.
I failed. The story simply will not allow me to write it into the shape I wanted. Instead, it has turned out to be more of a comedy of errors, and a tale of lost love.
Read it for yourself, and see what you make of it.
The end of this narrative is very different to that envisaged at the outset, but to me, it is very poignant.

About the Author

Born in 1950, after school,I served my country in the Royal Navy, the least said about which the better. Since then I have made plastic drain-pipes, driven a fork truck, worked as a courier in the multi-drop rip-off game, and for the last two years have watched a conveyor belt going around. I have now achieved retirement. I began writing for amusement during my lunch-breaks, and rose to the challenge of becoming published when I commented on a book I had purchased, saying something along the lines of - "I could do better than that!" - when someone said - "Go on, then!"
My other hobbies are scuba-diving, designing, building, and flying radio-controlled model aircraft, ham radio, photography, and avoiding gardening.
