Books by Billy 'Scratch' Hitchen

Billy "Scratch" Hitchen has lived a life that could never be repeated. One of the country's first NHS babies, he ran away to sea at 14 and stayed there in various ventures for over forty years. Surviving storms and groundings, collisions and near fatal accidents, he finally came ashore and started two businesses which he has run successfully for the past 12 years. Both are still running today. Scratch still lives in Salcombe in South Devon.
