With a Pinch of Salt: A Collection of Nautical Expressions And Other Stories
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Are you clewed-up about all those expressions that so enrich the language of sailors - not to mention the landlubbers who have Shanghaied their vocabulary?
Do you know Captain Setab's Second Law of Dynamics, or why timbers shiver, even in horse latitudes, where a brass monkey has nothing to fear?
This little book, chock-a-block with the wit and wisdom of a Captain who came up through the hawse pipe to command one of the most famous vessels afloat, gives you the whole nine yards.
About the Author
Captain Nick Bates was born and brought up in Northern Ireland. He obtained his ‘Master's ticket' in 1975 and shortly afterwards was offered a position on board the luxury cruise liner Queen Elizabeth 2. Since that fateful day, he has remained with the Passenger Division of Cunard Line, and latterly with P&O Princess Cruises.
