I'm sure I've mentioned this before but here goes anyway...
When I was 15yrs old I watched a F1 inshore world championship powerboat race in Nassau Harbour in the Bahamas.
Thought it was the coolest thing ever but at the time had no idea how wrong I was
10yrs later I end up working in my spare time for the Union Internationale Motonautique the watersports world governing body as Technical Commissioner
Responsible for the technical inspection for the whole grid of F1 inshore powerboats at world championship races around the world eg France, Russia, Middle East, Italy, Greece, Germany etc
When I tell this story or read it back to myself I think what the hell was I thinking and how did that happen at such a young age
