G'day Pmpy and welcome to the site. If you care to list all your ships with dates there is the possibility someone out there may remember you. So while you wait grab a cold one, sit back and enjoy the voyage.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Hi Pompy
Welcome aboard, I would pipe you on board but my whistle is a little rusty.
Hope you get some replies from old mates that sailed on the Almonzora, and the Astruias.
Cheers Des
