Re: Virtual Ship
#1542.. looks like you’ve got it Jp. You can always put in for a bosuns mate. Blue Funnel will know all about them. Usual Manning which I don’t think Blue Flu had, but with indian crew the Serang always had a Tindal. But you had better emphasise that you want a female one. The Serang usually sits back and just gives orders to his Tindal just like we all hope to do with our wives. This is no reference to Keith Tindle who lives in the I.O.W. Is a better job than the M of A s on the big ships so maybe Marian may be interested. JS

Re: Virtual Ship
I”m still looking for this virgin ship someone described . Hands up all those virgins on board, and after that all those who haven’t crossed the line, the Greenwich meridian doesn’t count, neither do clothes lines. Cheers JWS.

John, I will have to search for a non gender tab nab book.
Hope it has lots of rum recipes. At least that will go with the bum and backey one can expect aboard.

Re: Virtual Ship
Again I have come across some posts here that are out of order
This is a Happy Ship and it will stay that way! It was brought to revival for that reason .
Any posts deemed to be not in line with it will be deleted no questions asked!
I hope this us understood!
Lets resume now with only happy and Virtual things! End of
Unfortunately there were posts which along with those that had to go, otherwise would make no sense.
Thank You
