I read StormChild and being an Ocean Yachtmaster myself – I was thrilled reading it and could not put it down. My wife – who is not a natural English speaker – also read it with the same result. Was it ever considered by anyone to make a movie of it? We both felt that it would have made a first rate adventure movie – probably with Russel Crowe as Tim Blackburn. It was an enthralling read where I felt that I was alongside Tim every step of the way. Wonderful, John Ringrose
