About
My Story
Hi, I'm Eddie, a liveaboard cruiser who leverages my considerable experience and skills to offer marine services as I travel.
​
My focus is on quality of service and dependable reliability, something that is, unfortunately, becoming increasingly hard to find at a reasonable price.
​
My mechanical career began as a heavy machinery operator and mechanic in a remote rural farm in the UK. This required me to fix and maintain diesel systems in remote areas with limited equipment availability.
​
My seagoing career started in the Royal Navy, where I joined the Submarine Service as a navigational officer on the ASTUTE class attack submarines, working in an operational environment for a number of years.
​
Later, I joined the UK's Foreign Office, working on secure IT systems and advanced, niche technologies.
​
As such, I can offer a variety of services to get your boat shipshape and Bristol fashion, or help augment your marine business.
