G'day Peter and bobcat, sorry to have to inform you but Jim crossed the bar last October. But it is good to see there are still who sailed with him or remember him, his wife Doris, currently in N.Z., often looks in and I know she will be very pleased with your postings. So thanks for that lads.

G'day James and welcome to the site. Do you by any chance have some dates to go with the ships you sailed on? If so and you care to list them there is a good chance someone out there will reemeber you. So sit back with a cold one and enjoy the voyage.
