My father in law always said that they sieved the collection through a ladder, whet remained on the rungs went into the church.

Hello Bill # 9
Pete and I went on Sea Cloud 11 in 2013. It was absolutely fantastic. Sailed very day around the Caribbean. Can't remember a whole lot about the different islands ; just couldn't wait to get back on board and sail ! A far cry from the Enterprise Sailing dingy, (at 13 ft overall) that my brother and I shared when we were growing up.

My G/father was in sail in 1890s as a Bosun. What a tough life. Watched the Crew setting the sails; running up and down the rigging ;avoiding the Widow Maker and then making everything shipshape before we set off again. We saved up for a long time but it was worth it. I am so,so lucky to have had that experience.
Post # 18 . Then we went to Antarctica in 2008 before that trip got priced out of a normal person's pocket. Ask Capt. Kong; he was on the ship behind us heading to South Georgia. Big storm.
Happy days
Brenda

I have a friend currently on a cruise in Norway. This is an ex school teacher!!! she sent me a message this morning on what's app+ a few photo's
Message reads , Land of the Midnight Sun my ****!!! go figure any wonder school kids may not be getting a great education.

Really sorry for her James, obviously she is not aware of the time difference between summer and winter.
Tell her to try again in later June, then she may well complain it is too light at midnight for her, cannot sleep.

Well I have had a Christmas cruise this year on 'Arvia' bought for me as a pressie! Will no doubt be an interesting experience since my last family cruise after 'swallowing the anchor' was on 'Grandeur of the Seas' at 74,000 tons was big enough for me.....I thought. Really enjoyed that cruise though.
Lets see what Arvia brings.....

Had two friends do the maiden voyage on her.
Not impressed, far too many on her, happy with a max of about 320 this one had over 5000.
