Sailed on Port Napier
Hi
I sailed on her my first trip as Deck boy but it was Port Napier last trip
Was a great trip and great crew on board but not sure if I remember you
As I am no good with names but faces I do better
Most of the crew sailed together again on the Port Melbroune after that trip
All the Best Ivan
