“I'm Mike, otherwise known as Smurf or Captain Smurf.

“I spend much of my time at sea aboard scientific research ships (hence a new nickname of “Smurfy McSmurfface”), where I am the ship's navigator.

“When I'm on leave I spend a lot of time riding motorbikes and going to bike rallies or music festivals.

“Music and photography occupy much of my time, happily often together.”
