Making Waves

A dramatized account of the frantic adventures Kenneth experienced as ship's stylist catering to the rich and famous aboard a series of luxury liners, and an amazing banana boat plying the West Indies during the mid 50s. From Monte Carlo to Rio, Hong Kong and the Philippines to the Isle of Capri. Most of the time it was was hectic fun and sometimes dangerous. However, in order to protect the guilty from those who might have thought they were purely innocent, he has fashioned these adventures into a novel that is as much fun for the readers as it was for them all while it was happening. Our hero Paul Barrington, with equal parts lust and wanderlust and seeing himself as a "latter day Marco Polo" armed not with a sword but with a comb and shears sets off on a hilarious odyssey to many of the most exotic, and some less exotic, ports-of-call around the world styling the rich and famous. Enjoy tales of a stowaway prostitute, a struggle with a 14' shark, tidal waves, a kidnapping attempt and bereaved widows who are oh, so willing... and an offshore encounter with Maori natives... embarrassing moments in a Japanese bath house when it wasn't just Paul's temperature that was rising. Paul eventually breaks the cardinal rule and falls in love with a lovely fellow crew member, Joanna Carroll, which leads to severe complications as they conduct a torrid clandestine affair.
