by Bill Belcher
hardback in very good condition, published 1979
When it comes to interesting lives, the shipwreck on Middleton Reef of the title, is only a small part of this book. Bill Belcher was a fascinating character - he went to Spain during the Civil War, was in the RAF during WWII, moved to Kenya after the war, had some engineering jobs and mining jobs around different African countries before getting into ocean racing in New Zealand and Australia. He was 66 years old when the incident happened on Middleton Reef. A bit of an inspiration to all those contemplating a quiet retirement.
