Mark Fishwick

Born in Exeter and bought up on the River Exe, Mark Fishwick began sailing at an early age and explored the rivers, creeks and harbours of the West Country in his parents’ sloop. He moved to Cornwall in 1973 and since then has enjoyed a varied nauical life encompassing commercial fishing, charter skippering in the West Indies, yacht delivery, boatyard work, writing, photography and just occasionally sailing for fun! He was the editor of Reeds Nautical Almanac for many years.
