Martin always had a strong connection to the sea. In his youth, Martin was a formidable swimmer who spent hours and hours swimming up and down the coast in the company of fish, seagulls and other aquatic life forms.
In his twenties, Martin got tired of swimming and opted for a more effective way to cover longer distances at sea... For the following years, Martin took to the sea on any vessel that would take him to any location reachable by water. The longer the trip and the rougher the sea conditions, the more appealing the invitation to embark into unknown voyages and destinations...
Martin sailed around the world in all sorts of trips and adventures; oh! the joys and wonders of life in the sea!!
On year two Martin ended up in the Navy as he continued moving from port to port joining different crews and boats... Life in the Navy was clockwork operated making his time on duty go by extremely fast as he sailed from one place to another.
One time, a severe storm got Martin stranded in a small rowing boat with two other mates. The crew in the Destroyer, failed to notice that 3 sailors in a rowing boat went missing so Martin & Mates had no option but to row non-stop for 3 days until they reached land...
Such exhausting events plus the monotony of his tasks and duties at sea, made Martin re-consider options and opt out of the Navy in pursuit of new life experiences on dry land. This is the last known picture of Martin before he left the Navy...
