He arrived as a Seaman on the Lord Wellington, female convict ship in January 1820 and almost immediately joined the crew of the Lynx on a sealing expedition to the South Shetland Islands. They were away for about 2 years. On his return he worked for William Grono on his farm at Windsor before going on a couple more sealing expeditions with John Grono and Alexander Books as the masters on the vessels he sailed on.
