		"Most people would say he was crazy but, to Andrew, crazy is spending half your time in front of a TV set wondering what you might have done!"
		Hurricane Halsey by Andrew Halsey and Joy Lennick
		Paperback: 264 pages Publisher: Libros International Language: English
		"There are highs and lows, not only in the swells of the ocean, but in Andrew's moods. There are the priceless pleasures of communing with nature; the fun of spotting the denizens of the deep and numerous seabirds. Frustration and tiredness are constant bedfellows but humour often comes to Andrew's aid when he is in the doldrums. Despite the travails and failures, what shines through is Andrew's indomitable spirit to persevere".... See pics of Andrew Halsey in our Photo Album >>>
