To hell and back
Lets start in Feb 2011 found out the wife had been cheating behind my back she came home from work and said she wanted me out of the house that night.It was the end of our married life. but it gets worse she had emptied the banks accounts about 25k and gave it to her new fella,had to sell my rib i had to give her more money but she kept her three horses ,So what did i end up with nothing she had the house for the kids i lost my business all i had was clothes in some bin bags.

My next step was i had to move in with my mum which was very hard,Moving on to Nov 2011 still no work and rushed into hospital seven ops later and 3 months in hospital got out in Jan 2012, by this time just did not want to know or speak to any one.I then got a break got offered a little bit of work i was on my way back then a lot of work started coming my way and of course money.

Next step i got my own flat in Willaston had to buy everything for it now got myself a nice flat in a nice village.

Next was to decided what to do with my life as i was on my own,decided to do my training to become a rya power boat trainer also going as crew on a tall ship as a volunteer.

And then today got back the one thing i enjoy the most a boat

Ghostrider

So as you can see to hell and back
