About this ebook
A man out of time and place.
The partly true story of a passionate sailor, a "Flying Dutchman," who was nearly trapped in the Hong Kong corporate treadmill by the world's tightest golden handcuffs. Success conflicts with passion in this gripping tale.
John wrote a song that inspired this story which provides a glimpse of a man living his dream.
Beautifully illustrated with photos of Hong Kong by Tom Tsui.
