Short description
David Baboulene runs away to the sea in a cloud of romantic dust for the first of his shipboard adventures. A journey which takes him across the world and back 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.
Review
'David Baboulene is a seriously funny man with a great gift for story telling. One of the funniest books I have ever read.' Spirit FM 'This truly absorbing and at times astonishing tale will have you laughing out loud... 'Windy' Baboulene has an engaging, informative and gripping style... a real page-turner.' In Touch Magazine 'Interesting, raucous and very, very funny to the point that some bits will make your eyes water. When I got to the end it was like saying goodbye to an old friend. The story on Barbados is one of the funniest I've ever read.' TalkSport 'Ocean Boulevard is an affectionately written biographic account that makes you laugh until you cry. If you only read one book this year make sure this is it!' Hawkins Bazarre (www.hawkin.com) 'David has documented a period of UK maritime history that is sadly now past. A raunchy and hilarious series of adventures and anecdotes.' The Argus
