Sea-Words; Water, Wind and Waves, A Glossary of Nautical Words and Phrases  ISBN No. 1-905006-06-3 published by the London Press

     My first book gives a very brief history of the Royal Navy, with 'battleships' as the main focus but there are chapters on its famous admirals and on more obscure elements like the host of odd pets, its ghosts and the famous women associated with the sea and piracy.      Sea-Words, the book illustrated here, follows on from the first and is a glossary of the many words and phrases we use in every day speech, their nautical origins forgotten - until I remind you!

     One of the more famous, even infamous is about the weather. "It's cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey":... you'll need to buy my book to trace its origins.
