  All at Sea describes the career of a ship captain and salvage master from the time when he joined his first vessel to his present status as a marine consultant in Hong Kong. He writes of the remarkable changes he has seen and experienced in a career which has spanned more than half a century. By turns amusing and thought-provoking, this is an enjoyable tale of a most interesting life. 
  "[Alan] has done readers a service by putting on record so many of his experiences in such a charming & accessible manner. ... those who are interested in recent maritime practice should ... find within its pages much to intrigue & delight them. / Alan Loynd joined the Swire Group in 1976, and worked for businesses within it for most of thirty years.... it is both an honour and a pleasure to commend this volume to almost any curious & enthusiastic reader.”—Barnaby Swire. Chairman, the Swire Group 
  "A well thought through, beautifully written account of an interesting life.... I honestly could not put this down! Alan writes exceptionally well, with a delightful turn of phrase and a nice dry wit. His shrewd and sympathetic insights into the people of southern China are a particular pleasure. You pick up this book expecting a seafarer’s memoir - Devon schoolboy to CEO - and you get a handbook to modern Hong Kong, a bonus sketch of the Queen and Prince Philip visiting the tiny and remote island nation of Tuvalu, and an insight into modern salvage techniques.... Highly recommended."—Andrew Craig-Bennett, Amazon UK, 29 July 2021. 
  "A riveting read.... This is a quite exceptional account of a life at sea, covering a vast range of roles and adventures. It is beautifully written, and Alan Loynd’s (very) dry sense of humour shines through it all. I am a compulsive reader of mariners’ memoirs, and this is one of the very best."

  The history of the Caribbean is an exciting ride, but few outside of the region know much about it in depth beyond Columbus’s discovery.

  "In the following pages I have endeavoured to give the reader a plain, honest, homespun account of my state in life, and some few of the difficulties which have attended me along its journey, down to this time. I am perfectly aware, that I have related many small and, as I fear, uninteresting circumstances; but if so, my apology is, that it was rendered necessary by a desire to link the different periods of my life together, as they have passed, from my childhood onward, and thereby to enable the reader to select such parts of it as he may relish most, if, indeed, there is any thing in it which may suit his palate."
