Hi Barry. Thank's for replying. I have never lived in London. I came from a little market Town called FAVERSHAM. in Kent. I joined Port Line from the Vindi in April 1994. I now live in FOLKESTONE. and am still working as a Chef. 2 more years to go before I can retire. Take care..... Terry Willcox. ( 2, LLs ) ;)
G'day Lee and welcome to the site. Do you have a list of the ships you sailed on maybe with some dates? If you do and care to post them on site you may well get to hear from some who knew you. So sit back with a cold one and enjoy the voyage.
Hi Kevin,
I was one of the girls on that trip and have a heap of photos taken in Napier, Timaru etc. These include photos of the fancy dress night. Colin Richmond, Roger - steward, Steve the cook, Andy the AB, Terry Needham etc.
Often wondered what happened to Steve as we shared a flat for a bit and lost touch.

Thanks for your reply John, I have put a list of ships I was on the 'My Ships' page:)
i sailed in eng room on a few port ships between 74 and 78 - caroline, new plym, nicholson & auckland - i often wonder where some of the lads from that time are now particularly mick chance (ab), bob (bubbles) simeon (ab), clem thorpe (ab), fred ? ( ab /bosuns mate from cardiff - cant remember freds surname now but crackin bloke ), pete bradley (ab), dave ford ( ab) and loads of others.
if any of you are out there it would be great to hear from you - only saw this website today and it really makes me homesick for those times 30 odd years ago.
cheers,

G'day davidalan and welcome to the site. Good list of names you have there, do you still have a lsit of your ships and maybe some dates? If you do and care to post them on site there is a good chance someone from the past will contact you. So sit back with a cold one and enjoy the voyage.
