To the untrained eye, a Discharge Book,
Was just dates, names, rubber stamps,
But the seeasoned, experienced, seafarer,
Saw cargo boats, tankers, and tramps.

Unrivalled, for such a small nation,
With cargo arriving, around the ckock,
From every far flung, destination.

Hi ALL
I am starting this Blog to see if we can get this Blogging well underway
The Title says it all, so hopefully we all can add a little to this Blog.
Please keep it True and clean, but of course you can add little things to spice it up a bit if you like, without going overboard! LOL

I will a wee bit later start this off, by adding a snippet of part of my life, hope it will be of interest to some.
Thank You.
