Robin Tickner first ran away to sea officially at sixteen years of age sailing on Union Castle passenger ships until over fraternising with passengers led to a 'Dishonourable Discharge' and a move to cargo ships. After tramping around the worlds ports he took his first wife on a trip to India which led to 'swallowing the anchor' at the trips end and a divorce due to the wife's affair with the third mate.
Builders labourer, fire extinguisher salesman, vibrator specialist are all on his CV along with sales director as he donned a suit and travelled Europe. In his prime the call of the sea once more took him back on the ocean waves living on 'Wizzo' his sailboat chartering out of Mallorca during the European summer and seven times across the Atlantic to winter in the Caribbean. He now lives in Sydney with his third wife and two stepchildren both of whom do not believe a word of his scribbling's!
