After thirty-five years at sea, “Jolly Jack Tar” Terry Cox has decided to put his feet up and retire. Although many local sea faring legends unlucky enough to have sailed with him would have sworn blind, that from the day Terry Cox put his feet on the deck of ship at 15 years old, that he had already retired.
Now after years of boring the locals to death in The Avenue Pub in Hull with his heroic adventures battling the seven seas, Terry was finally banned. But nothing to do with his story telling, but for the odious crime of “Mine Sweeping” beer whilst customers were not looking. This has inspired the old salt Terry to put pen to paper and share some of his comical and not so comical nautical antics with the world. From Hull to Tokyo and back again and all the ports in between. With a woman in every port (so he says) Terry tells it like it is, in this no holds barred testimony that bears witness to those heroic, stoic, fearless, tenacious and brave “Men in Danger on the sea...”
Best selling Hull Writer. Ian Newton writes of this book.
“The stories are heartbreaking, moving, sincere and extremely emotional and I was moved to tears, especially the part where Terry catches his balls in the fishing winch.”
