Re: M.v.discovery
Yes Roger recall them well and also trying to get them out of the old lug holes. Recall how after a session of chipping and the end of the shift it would take a few hours before anyone could hear anything. Can not get over that I still have good hearing after all these years. Ear plugs or stuff like that was for the pussies.

Posted just now but seems that it disappeared. Roger do you recall gouging them out of the old lug holes mate. How it would take a few hours at the end of the watch on the rattlers to be able to start hearing again. Ear protection. That is for pussies. The other one was after a day in the hatches painting with the covers on. Did not know if one was getting drunk or if still under the influence of the fumes. Many things like that at sea and yet was lucky enough to come through it all and retain good hearing and health. Some bugger up there must have liked us all hey.
That's the way the mop flops.
My thanks to Brian for this site.
