This is a collection of adventure stories. Some take the reader into the sea with US Navy SEAL Teams and frogmen. The author challenges the reader with tales about the rigors of training and the dangers of combat. In this fiction, the sea is an enemy that tests the courage, determination and stamina of military and civilian men and boys in boats and ships. Battle on the Rugby pitch, Zen Buddhism, swarms of hornets, hazards of the depths, blazing barrels of the Viet Cong, fear in combat and high on long ladders, boredom at sea, insanity, revenge, love and death fill the pages of this book. Several pleasant poems separate the exciting adventures.
