Cam Renton was on his third voyage, sailing to Barbados. He is just sixteen and a sea-going apprentice in the Merchant Navy with one years experience and three still to do. He has four years of study and practice in seamanship with a second mate's ticket at the end of it. He was on the first rung of the ladder that would eventually give him command of his own ship and he should have been full of enthusiasm for the adventurous years ahead.
