Life in a Blue Suit; A Saga Of A Sailor Returning Home From Sea Book

After 25 years in the Royal Australian Navy, a Captain prepares for a new life back on land. Confronted by his last night at sea before joining the civilian world once again, the Captain reflects on his life and the voyages that have taken him from his days as a young lad growing up in the inner suburbs of Melbourne to his early days of service in Southeast Asia to his command of a guided missile frigate. In the midst of a mid-life crisis and the premature end of his Navy career, the Captain realizes that life in a blue suit is very different from life on land, but no matter where our lives take us we are always the Captain of our own ship.
