You will swear with me and you will swear at me. Some of you may even shed a tear when you learn about several of the people, I will introduce you to. Some of you will draw comparisons with events of your own life and on one hand be thankful for not doing some of the stupid things I have done. On the other hand, perhaps, just perhaps be disappointed for not having experienced some of the good and rewarding events I write of.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy life begins in 1956. I was born in Hamilton, New Zealand. Early childhood were days of wander, adventure and excitement as I grew up in a farming community. That was soon shattered when we moved to Dunedin. I hated the place and at age nine ran away from home but was caught three days later by police in Lyttleton, approximately 400 km to the north.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI had two brothers one older and one younger plus an older sister, a nice economic round figure of four.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy college schooling, apprenticeship as a carpenter, falling in love, excelling as a rugby player and freestyle wrestler, throw in some sailing and boxing and yes, I loved my sport. Let's not forget to mention the finer points of altercations with the law due to fighting in the streets and in general just being a prick occupied my teen years which I spent in Nelson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy yearning for adventure and excitement first took me to Australia. Employed in a variety of jobs; Bellboy at a hotel within Sydney's Kings Cross red-light district, construction in Darwin, traveling salesman in Central Queensland just to mention only three.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1979 I found myself in the UK as a recruit in the British Parachute Regiment and with high marks I passed the P Company selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the following thirteen years I bounced around NZ and Australia a little like a balloon out of control but searching I guess for some form of stability. I worked a variety of jobs in cities such as Perth and Auckland, mining camps in NW Australia, deckhand on an American Tuna Purse Seiner from which I was very unceremoniously dumped and left on the shoreline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecovered from a slight mental breakdown, rekindled a teenage romance and became engaged. Engagement collapsed after five years and so my search for myself continued.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI found myself employed as a cook on a Tug Boat operating off the coast of NZ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was here I finally found what it was that I was looking for and over the next fifteen years whilst employed by several different companies and on different oceans I worked my way up to the position of Captain. Working a roster of six weeks on and six weeks off allowed me to spend a large amount of time in Thailand and latterly Cambodia which was where I moved to after retiring from the sea, but my time in Cambodia belongs in another book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt didn't matter if it was work or play whatever I took on I had to climb the ladder to the very top. This stubborn and selfish attitude at times alienated me from friends and stopped me raising my own family. I was always the leading wolf or loan wolf but seldom part of the pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI currently live in Thailand. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13648525\"\u003eRupert Saville\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798655013308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8655013307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO023000\"\u003eAdventurers \u0026amp; Explorers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43830901014667,"sku":"9798655013308","price":20.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_21b56e35-4fff-4eb2-bdcb-43d61f933e7b.jpg?v=1755589825","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/he-went-that-way-9798655013308","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
