PIRATES, monsoons and romances – 63-year-old Clive Hamman has survived it all.
For 20 years, the self-styled backpacker of the sea from Canada has sailed around the world offering lifts and adventure to hundreds of fellow travellers.
His journey has taken him up the Amazon River and down the Seine, he has fought off pirates in Thailand armed with homemade Molotov cocktails and survived hurricanes in Tobago. And this weekend he docked in Jersey.
Clive, who says he has never had a bank account, built his Chinese junk sailboat Nuthin Wong on Vancouver Island in 1989.
