Acknowledgements
I’d dearly like to thank all those who have actively facilitated, made suggestions or criticisms, or otherwise indulged me in the writing of The Naked Shore: starting close to home, my partner Marie Francis for her indulgence – and Mark Cusick for his. Hugh Barnes, Alex Schneideman, Derek Johns, Henry Olsen and Edward Woodman all deserve thanks for their support and company on various legs.
I’m also enormously grateful to Tim Bates of Pollinger, for his spot-on comments and suggestions (pulling no punches, but always enthusing), Michael Fishwick at Bloomsbury for bearing with me – and Anna Simpson for helping carry the book through to completion.
So many people have shown interest and hospitality on my travels, but to Herman Vuijsje and Wilhemyn, Arend Maris, Jacob Hammer, Victor Laurenson, Andrew French, Uwe Jessel, Mathias Piepgras, Ben Davies and Jill Franklin, Anne Paulsen, Hark Martinen and Richard Haward – I owe particular gratitude.
