About the Book

The author has published this book to thank the Royal Navy of the Twentieth Century for their excellent training and for the opportunities to visit so many countries and meet so many Highly Interesting People from so many walks of life. In the early days, he volunteered to partake in three conflicts, namely the Korean War plus the Malayan and Aden emergencies. The overall training and experience enabled him to later join the Merchant Navy and start up the United Kingdom's first School of Seamanship, thus continuing a life at sea which he has attempted to factually describe with much light-hearted humour.

Review :
Reviews, "A life on the ocean wave for a 'Simple Sailor'" A former warship commander, born in Campbeltown, has written a book about his lifetime at sea and his various maritime experiences. Captain Mike Reeder has dedicated his book - 'A Simple Sailor' - to the Royal Navy, which he says not only gave him excellent training but also the opportunity to visit more than 60 countries and meet so many interesting people from all walks of life. "He served in the Korean War and then became a submariner joining the submarines 'Andrew' and 'Scotsman' based at Rothesay. From there they spent much time at Loch Goil, Arrochar, Loch Fyne and Troon. He then commanded five warships and took part in the Malayan and Aden emergencies before leaving the Royal Navy and joining the Merchant Navy as a Master Mariner. "He later started the Mike Reeder School of Seamanship which offers personal tuition anywhere in Europe - enabling him to continue his life at sea which he has described with much light-hearted humour. "Many of his customers come from the Clyde area and have been frequently seen cruising the Kyles of Bute, the Cumbraes, Lower Loch Fyne and visiting the marinas or harbours of Largs, Rothesay, Kip Marina, Loch Long, Tarbert and Portavadie." - LARGS AND MILLPORT WEEKLY NEWS, 'A Simple Sailor' by Captain Mike Reeder.
