Jamaica planter
I have recently unearthed my late father's voyage log for the Jamaica planter for April through to November 1940. He was Master mariner Jack L Sims. I am just curious to know if anyone still survives from this time on the forum. Many thanks for any help.

Re: Jamaica planter
Hi John.
My son had to register me. Don't know what happened but I nor my son who is a bit of an expert could recover my log in details, so he had to use a different password, which got rid of all my details from my previous 25 years log in details, one thing I am now a newbie so the Ai,s in Canberra will have to start all over again, I will as well, as I have lost twenty five years of friends off my Avatar, including the Avatar itself.
Thanks for the help with your emails, I was knocked out and stuffed so couldn't answer all of them.
Thanks Des
