Unhappy with the dullness of small-town England in the 1960s, Rod escapes by going to sea. Aboard ship, he finds his place-at the bottom of the stratified naval hierarchy. At sea he experiences storms that toss large ships around like twigs. Venturing ashore in unfamiliar lands, he runs for his life through a Senegalese village, kisses a man in Australia, is mugged in Tahiti, almost kills the third mate in Sweden and is captured by a woman in Vancouver. Praise for Constant Traveller R801168 “Set in the sixties on the ever changing background of the high seas, Baker shares this coming of age tale with humor, candor, and simplicity. The matter of fact confessions of bad behaviour and open expression of emotion grab the reader viscerally to make it an exceptional read.” -Scott Skipper “A captivating tale of a unique life; full of exquisite description, humor, love and loss.” -Karen Dodd “Constant Traveller takes the reader on a wild ride into the recent past as well as upon the open seas. Baker thoroughly brings the sea to life for this reader. An adventure well worth reading and I'm so pleased he has lived to tell the tale!” -Lisa Ann Gallagher

A recent immigrant to Canada, I had completed an apprenticeship as a shipwright and found a good paying job in the shipyard, which allowed me to buy a three-bedroom house for my growing family. Three weeks before Christmas, the foreman at the shipyard gave me one hour's notice that I was laid off.I found piecemeal work to help pay the mortgage -- then decided to go into business repairing boats.I rented a large warehouse, brought a chair from home, made a desk from a door and bought a brown manila envelope to put receipts in.I Need My Yacht by Friday, is the story of what happened next.

According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), 'every year in the UK more than 4,000 people die in accidents in the home and nearly three million turn up at accident and emergency departments seeking treatment. But, because the accidents happen behind closed doors in isolated incidents they rarely attract public and media attention.' What people require in an emergency is the knowledge to take the right steps (whether in the emergency itself, or beforehand to prevent it), the knowledge to avoid those which that they must not, and the common sense to know the difference. The key is knowledge. This Book offers a commonsense guide to handling emergency situations - from basic first aid to dealing with frostbite and heatstroke. The book provides information on assessing an emergency, what you can do in a medical emergency and a comprehensive guide to first aid procedures and techniques. The book also offers advice on preventing accidents in and around the home.
