SO WHAT ABOUT IT? IT´S MY LIFE ISN`T IT? Forewords The book is at first written as an outline,and will later be added to,step by step,as and when the inspiration will grab me. Photos and short videos will also be added here and there to better convey the story. It is impossible,immediately, to mention ALL the people who have had influence on my life,and to those I apologise. Some personal relationships are also best left as comprehended by the readers view today, letting,as it where,´sleeping dogs lie` . Tore Christiansen
CHAPTER I The tide´s very low today and exposes large reflecting areas of black against the white breaking crests of the lazy waves. The rain forest covering the mountains behind are not visible in the dark, just a faint contour of the towering mountain plateau behind the seaside resort of Ubatuba where I have lived for some fourteen years now. My seventh cocker spaniel Samantha is at my feet,her nose taking in the airs and eagerly watching a group of people playing sand volleyball. Sitting here on a bench, smoking my favorite King Edward cigar, many thoughts springs to mind. Like the long chain of events bringing me here at the ripe age of 80, I never would have believed, when at the age of fifteen I joined the Norwegian merchant fleet on board one of the last steamships for a seven month voyage to East Africa and Madagascar, that the sunset of my years would be seen from Brazil, more than 6000 nm from my birthplace. I suppose I was always an adventurous soul, at the age of five, frequently doing 'walkabouts' to the centre of Kristiansand, much to the dismay of my poor mother when she was telephoned by the local police chief with a plea to please come and collect her super active kid from the local police station, upsetting their routine by kicking football with the police staff.
