Re: Memories
Hi shipmates, Hi happy john in oz We were out of tune with shore life? When I talked about my time at sea , I was called "Walter Mitty"as people ashore dont see iceburgs , dolpins or flying fish at work only on the T,V, and hurricanes and gales only on films. Thanks to my time at sea ,I can sleep anywhere noise dont bother me after high pitch engine for 6 months on one ship sounded, like chalk on blackboard.
