Re: Maritime Expertise
Back to the chaos of the signals, a man fell? off the Spirit of Tasmania yesterday as it left Geelong the ship had to return to port, searchers found his body the next morning floating, so no predators around.
As for signals, my bum still gives a twitch when I recall the whistle booming out off Kuwait on the Baron Kilmarnock; when we were leaving and a small fire was down the Lazzeret caused by rope burn. more gas around than a Russian pipeline.

Re: Maritime Expertise
Interesting that Des.
Live about 90 klm from there but nothing about the guy in our news yesterday to today.
But not the first, or I suggest the last, to fall from one of those ferries.


Happy daze John in Oz.
