About the Author
Joe Aston was born 1946, in England. He was educated at Benedictine schools and at Jesus College, Cambridge University. He grew up mainly on the English south coast, doing a lot of sailing round the Channel and to Brittany and Ireland, where he has lived since 1973. After various jobs in England, including teaching, journalism, publishing, building and farming goats, he settled down to commercial fishing on the Irish west coast, and rearing a family of nine children, with Fiona, his wife.
Since retiring from the fishing, he has sailed round the Atlantic, following humpback whales to the Cape Verde Islands and dolphins up the Orinoco, and featuring in the film "The Return of the Humpback Whale" (Ergo films, 2004). With this voyage and the publication of "Wavedancing," he is now at last fulfilling a dual aspiration that he has harboured for thirty years.
