Alan Bond was a child of London, shaped by the horrors of World
War II. He survived the worst of the London Blitz era before being
sent to live in Devon. Even though he was sent away for his own
safety, life with his elderly relatives compared rather
unfavourably with life among the falling bombs.
As a young man, he decided upon a career in medicine. After
earning his degree at university, he followed another dream of life
abroad. He settled in Tasmania to work as an anaesthetist. This new
existence proved too challenging for his marriage to survive, so he
started over again as a single man. But life had other plans in
store for this adventurer. He met the Blonde, and his life changed
forever.
Now retired, he and his Australian lady shared a time of
adventure on the high seas, daring the often challenging waters of
the Tasman Sea and the Bass Strait. On board their boat, a wooden
cutter, they explored the beautiful coasts of Tasmania and
uncovered some of the ghosts of the state's colonial past.
Alan Bond's story is one of adventure, loss, and newfound love,
of second chances, surprises, and dreams pursued-and achieved.
