Like his parents and his sisters, Caesar has never had much choice as to whether to become a sailor; like the rest of the family he was born to it. He was conceived while his folks were cruising the sunny Caribee and was named for a tropical storm taking shape in the Atlantic at the same time. He spent the first two years of his life in the island of Antigua, made his first offshore foray at the tender age of one month, and by two-and-a half years had crossed the Atlantic.

When Caesar was not quite five years old his mum and dad were careless enough to capsize the family home in the Southern Ocean, but by this time our boy had been through so many other adventures that he took the event in his stride. When the chopper came to collect the crew, from a boat which was now bereft of masts, hatches, and any dry clothing, the young sailor glanced up at the bright lights shining from the blackness above him, and stepped nonchalantly and confidently into the arms of the stranger who, like a angel, had just dropped out of the sky and appeared on our deck. The airman later told us that Caesar spent the journey aloft happily munching on a biscuit!

As a result of this drama Caesar and his younger sister rose to instant stardom, being featured in all the English daily newspapers and actually making it to the front page of the Daily Mail. However, Our Hero has now turned his back on such things; he prefers the quiet life and spends most of his time tucked away with his computer in his cabin.

Caesar is the brains behind the Yacht Mollymawk website. His skills in this field are, perforce, entirely self-taught; no one else in the family is capable even of re-installing Windows, and we just do as we are told and scribble away, in obedience to his orders.

When not designing websites or writing software, Caesar fixes people’s electronics and cleans their props.
He enjoys sailing, snorkelling, diving, windsurfing, walking, kayaking, and throwing his little sister in the sea.

Despite the fact that he has never been to school or received any formal teaching Caesar has managed to acquire a handful of GCSEs and a couple of A Levels. Just enough to prove, to a cynical world, that home-schooling really does work. He has just completed his PADI Divemaster course, and is currently studying for his Yachtmaster certificate.

Caesar considers that washing up, doing the laundry, and cooking dinner are all women’s work, and his pet hate is being put on the domestic rota. The only escape, for all crew members, from this ordeal is via the Jobs List – and thus it is that our electronics boffin is also the Ship’s Carpenter aboard this unfinished boat.

Caesar’s only other gripe concerns our internet access – or the lack of it.
