Michael Hodges founded Old Sea Dogs to collect and publish the boating stories that sit between news, club gossip, marina knowledge, boat reviews, and practical life afloat.
His own boating began in 1997 with a Sunseeker Martinique on the Hamble and has since included cruising, RIB boating, sailing in the Ionian, powerboat training, diving, and years around the Solent.
Michael writes and edits Old Sea Dogs with an emphasis on clarity, useful detail, photo credits, and a tone that feels at home among sailors, motor boaters, club members, marina visitors, and curious readers ashore.
