About the Author: Following a career in education, Tom retired after being a member of a mathematics advisory team in London. With his family he set sail in his self-built GRP foam sandwich yacht for South America, via the western European coast, Atlantic islands and South America. There he became a columnist and contributor to SA Yachting and SA Shipping & Fishing magazines. He sailed the coast and produced his first South African Nautical Almanac - On board Publications published the fifth edition for 2002/3. With his wife, Sue, he travelled all over South Africa. They co-wrote the Boat Trekkers Guide, the definitive work on where to launch a small boat in the republic.

He returned by yacht to the UK via South America, the Caribbean and the Azores. Once back, he set up On Board Publications with his wife: initially to publish budget-cost sailing guides in the Afloat & Ashore series. During his travels he compiled the South Atlantic Circuit. When he approached the Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation with the project, they agreed to sponsor the final phase.
