Book one in David's humorous travel series.
"A seriously funny man with a great gift for story-telling. One of the funniest books I have ever read." City Talk. "RadioBaboulene is like a Bryson who has really played the field. Truly adventurous, truly hilarious and funny enough to burst your stitches!" Borders Books.
David Baboulene runs away to sea in a cloud of romantic dust for the first of his shipboard adventures. A journey which takes him across the world and back, from the Southern States of America, through Barbados and Jamaica, the Panama Canal, across to Sydney and Melbourne in Australia, then back through the Gilbert and Solomon Islands, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji and the Azores to a triumphant homecoming in Liverpool. But despite the laughs, the real journey in this strangely moving tale takes him all the way… from a boy to a man.
"Interesting, raucous and very, very funny. When it came to the end it was like saying goodbye to an old friend. One of the funniest books I have ever read." Talk Sport.
"I laughed so much stuff came out of my nose!" Pete McCarthy.

5,0 su 5 stelle Cadet at the same time
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 1 maggio 2015

Having read both Ocean Boulevard and jumping ships, I have to say they were both very well written and very amusing, and brought back many memories, I was a cadet at the same time as Dave, and was at college with him, had a few nights out, but never sailed with him as I worked for a different company, Not Norman I identified straight away, now that man is a character, The stories are all I imagine true, but may not actually be first hand, their will be some which are legends within the fleet (as stories were in my old company) and being retold,
However I think the books give a pretty good reflection on a life that has now sadly dissappeared, but I would certainly give them a read, old hands will have there memories triggered and non seafarers will get an interesting and humorous insight, reading one of the books on a flight back to blight I was getting some funny looks from fellow passengers as I was laughing at some of the passages, and I can guarantee the story about the Lecturer & entry through the window at Southgarth,
Dave has changed quite a few names to protect the innocent (and not so innocent) read the books you won't be disappointed, I am still involved in the marine industry and certainly wish those days were here still, and the good bunch of people that were there.

5,0 su 5 stelle This is a DANGEROUSLY funny book!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 5 ottobre 2012

This is far and away one of the funniest books I have ever read. The author is a comic genius.
I literally fell out of bed laughing.

When I rose from the bedroom floor it seemed advisable to take a break from reading in order to recover my composure, and to give my laugh-exhausted innards a chance to resettle. I did a little cooking and then sat down for a small meal.

Unfortunately I also opened the story again and was soon in the throes of hilarity once more, to the extent that I inhaled my hamburger. Only the mercy of God allowed me to clear the blockage before I turned blue.

I'm telling you, this is a DANGEROUSLY funny book . . .

You know, I'm fine with wandering around the Hindu Kush with Eric Newby, or trekking the Sahara or running the Amazon. But at some point you've had enough sherpas, camels and man-eating fish. That's where this rollicking High Seas adventure tale from David Baboulene comes in. Let's join the merchant marine and see the world in the company of a vivid, funny, stylish and good humored travel adventurer.

Lots of people can tell a good story, especially over a few beers in a snug spot. But, to write a lively and engaging tale, to capture the humor and energy of an episode on the written page - that is a rare talent.

On top of all that, because this isn't just a collection of adventures and tall tales, you actually get a feel for what day to day life in the merchant marine is like. Romantic and tedious, this accounting is interesting stuff for the armchair traveler.

Bottom line - our author had real adventures, he understood what he was seeing and doing, he can recast his observations as great stories, and he has a puckish and witty sense of humor. How's that for a fine combination?

(Please note that I found this book a while ago while browsing Amazon Kindle freebies. I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)

I bought this book with no preconceptions, other than the author is local to me, and has his car fixed by my partner's son in a local garage!
Well, what a pleasant surprise. It's well written, and a real page turner.
If I had a very slight criticism, it would be that I would have liked more detail, but it's quite possible that there was more and it was edited out by an overzealous editor.
It's still a very funny book, and in some ways a real snapshot of a time that is long gone. It has moments of poignancy, as well as some real belly laughs.
Well done David, and I hope we might meet up someday - and I'm looking forward to the next book!
