Only occasionally John, only occasionally, can't remember what happened yesterday, but can remember Dolores in Havana in 1954, until I saw her I thought all those posters of perfect girls were the figment of someone's imagination

Re: Gps
Looking at most ships of today, in particualr cruise ships, there is so much electronic and navigational gear on board you may well wonder how ships can go off course. All the navigational equipment yet a ship goes aground off the NZ coast near Tauranga, the infamous Costa packet, and many others. there is little point in having all this equipment if you have idiots on the bridge.


Happy daze John in Oz.
