My best run ashore ever fellas

[Tony Taylor]

As a Seaman as i recall each Port was recorded in your Book !
Or am i incorrect??

only when signing on and off, or breaking articles and resign on.

#9. No Vernon just have a look in your book. Engagement and discharge only. Mo is correct.

One would require a new book every 6 months otherwise.

[Doc Vernon]

Oh yes! Now i can recall that JS.
Thanks !

Apologies Mo!

I was actually thinking of the Voyage Record Cards , which i applied for, they do have all Ports visited!
Cheers

My best Run ashore was the Run i made back to the Ship in Cape Town after the Boere (Cops) raided the Catacoombs Club . That was a hell of a Run! LOL

#15 Didn’t even have to be a jump ship for a VNC, if you had a master who had aggro he would put in which was qiuet legal for a hospitalisation . Anyone would then assume incorrectly that it was a jump ship. Better to put in yourself above VNC, “hospitalised.”Which would have to be the official reason in the OLB. Which I would imagine one of the many reasons for changing the layout of the present Dis. A book , if there is one that is ? JS.

I don't need a discharge book my clock proves that I went to sea.

Best runs ashore were in Japan in the fifties which did not entail any exertion at all , as individual girlie bars used to send cars down to pick you up and drop you off at their doors of hospitality free gratis. Only can’t ever remember being brought back to ship for free. JS
