A.w.p.
I have today posted with the captain notice of my intention to take leave, not of my sences, but of this ship for a small diversion. Accompanied by her in doors I shall be making my way, via the sea on April 8th, to parts of New Caledonia for 10 days. There is a young dusky maiden there that I met last time we passed that way and with some luck we may meet again and who knows.............................oh dear there I go, dreaming again.
Anyway I will return filled with good stories and good Gin I hope.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Enjoy.

Re: A.w.p.
Enjoy the trip John.
If you find the Lady on the right at the back, tell her `I shall Return one day`, lovely girl.
I enjoyed Kuta in Ille de Pines, beautiful beach. Noumea dont remember too much it was a little too much Fijian Rum on the day.
Cheers
