Sea sunday . July 9th 2023

Sea Sunday today.

To all my sea-faring friends on this site and those who have found a safe harbour after their life-long voyage. Rest in peace.
=========================

They that go down
to the sea in ships,

that do business
in great waters;

These see the
works of the LORD,

and His wonders
in the deep

Psalm 107. 23-24

Hi Brenda, thanks for the quote. we have certainly seen his wonders in the deep. there will be many who have seen the blue haze in the pacific. To continue the psalm: " For he spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves, they mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths; in there peril there courage melted away. they reeled and staggered like drunken men; and were at their wits end. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress, he stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their safe haven. I remember only to well going through a gale in the Atlantic just before Christmas in 1965, I was 19 and thought It was all over, but the storm was stilled to a whisper and we did get home but the ship was trashed. Time & tide.

Slightly different theme, but for me a Sunday at sea meant an extra days leave
and how they tried to dodge them.

Yup! FWE at 1159 hours, that saved the owner a few bob!

Wonder if anyone ever got two on the international date line, i expect a few slowed down to avoid it.

I know we crossed on Sunday in the pacific on my sisters birthday we celebrated twice but only got 1 Sunday at sea.
Time and tide.

I remember we never sailed on a Sunday, i wonder why!

Hello Mark,
I only quoted the first few verses as they were inscribed around the inside of the dome of the Mersey Docks & Harbour Board Building.
Now owned by Peel Holdings but the chap on the door will let you in to have a look !
