Informazioni sull'autore

About the author Colin J Reed was born in Southampton, Hampshire, towards the end of 1943 when WWII was finally taking a turn for the better. His first taste of adventure came when he joined the Junior Civil Defence in 1956, and one activity was to recover life-sized dummies from under the remains of the roof of a four-story bombed-out building opposite the main railway station. When that closed, he joined the Southampton Sea Scouts and learned to sail, and row, a 27ft Montague Whaler, the standard ship’s sea boat of the day. He served in the Royal Navy from 1960-70, and his first ship, HMS Albion, was the cornerstone of the Borneo War in 1963. During time onshore, he developed a passion for racing dinghies of various classes. After he left the RN he spent 40 years in the upstream oil and gas industry in various categories, and was one of the first crew members on BP’s most successful offshore production platform in 1974. A keen sailor he gained two sailing championships in dinghy racing in the 1980s, and in 1990 orchestrated the historic visit of the Royal Findhorn Yacht Club to Russia, the only UK yacht club to visit and race in the USSR. He met his second wife in Rio de Janeiro in 1983, two years after losing his Scottish wife after a long illness, in only her mid-30s. He has two daughters from his first marriage. He is now semi-retired, living in the UK and Rio de Janeiro.
