    hi guliver
    mange 2 or non parley vou francias as del boy used to say,or don't get all senitimental on me now. yes that was a hell of a feat for a man just to go out and do without the knowledge, what makes it even better is that he went back again and done the whole circumnavigation.

Great life, some bad and sad times but a great life over all..

    hi capt
    I never expected anything less from your closet, and as you must know all the great and greatest fighters have come from poverty, as adversity only tempers the man.
