Paul Johnson was born on the river Hamble in the UK, on a boat called Escape. After his short career in the Navy during the war, in the Shetland Islands, he bought a boat and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean alone. After that, he never truly lived on land. He loved, drank and lived foolishly while sailing the world. Now he is turning eighty, he is alone and both him and his boat are unfit to sail. He drinks a liter of vodka a day and thinks about his past. He never thought he would live this long.
