Quite an adventure and one which Peter now wishes to share with others.

This book is the story of that adventure, a mildly scurrilous tale in which Peter makes observations about the people he encounters and the places he visits, as well as some reminiscences, yarns of yottin' and life itself.

Much of Pete's youth was spent attending school. Then, in defiance of his father, who had become an Estate Agent when the threat of Hitler had been safely removed, Pete ran away to London and the heady world of advertising. Estate Agency didn't appeal, although his father's love of sailing had already lured Pete into this most pleasant of pastimes. So, this was to be his life. Advertising... and sailing.

For much of his mis-spent adulthood, Pete has wagged off work, attending other people's boats, taking as much time as possible away from the hurly-burly, crewing on deliveries and off-shore races, as well as many weekends spent racing his ageing dinghies and off-shore pleasure sailing with friends. Latterly, advertising took a very far back seat as the desire to own his own craft finally became a reality and prompted this tale, the first in a planned trilogy revolving around the antics of Pete and his fellow yotties. Happy and sad tales, yarns not only of the sea, but of life itself.

Pete's personal probe into his desire to live life to the full, to observe and comment and share those feelings with other like-minded folk can only stem from the day of his conception. What were you giving or receiving on Christmas Day, 1943? Or any other Christmas Day for that matter?

'Round and Round in Circles' is the beginning of Peter Marsh's gift to a world which has been going round and round in circles for quite a long time. And will continue to do so for some time to come... Hopefully!
