    Thumbs up Memories

    I was looking though various sites to find something to put up here in the quiz section and I came upon these two photographs and they brought back good memories, while I was looking at them it was as if I could feel the sea underneath me, I hope you like them..........

    Brigs back memories, wetted table cloth in the messromm table etc, i remember mid atlantic on the wheel, heavy seas coming over the bow, and thinking shes not coming back up !, but she would give a little shudder, and back up she,d rise. Also thinking , hope those bloody hatch boards and tarps hold out, otherwise she definitely wont come back up,, ah happy days KT

    Nice pictures, land lubbers would never believe us, they couldn't understand how ships got rusty, and we went back for more!
