1977-81 College
Working Life:
Left College to pursue career in Cruise ship industry.
Originally based on the Island of St Lucia where I lived for 4 Years. I then joined Windjammer Barebart Cruises as Chief Mate and was promoted to Captain a year later on the Fantome, a four masted Barquentine. (At the time the largest commercial sailing ship in the world)
I currently work for Chevron Shipping based in San Ramon California as a Safety Specialist in Marine Operations.
I also have kept my Rugby enthusiasm in coaching rugby at the California Maritime Academy.

Info available before Paddy wrote in:-
Paddy Shrimpton (77-81) I shared a house with his twin brother, Phil, up until the early nineties. He was and still is, as far as I know, working for Windjammer Barebart Cruises in the Caribbean as Captain on one of their sailing ships. I know he had a house in St Lucia for a while.

Paddy on the other hand lived on the Isle of Wight. He had a twin brother on the sister course which made him pretty unique I suppose. Ref
