Re: Seafaring gear found in your garage,
I was in there again this morning,
I found my Mother in Law`s COMMODE,
. she sadly died some 42 years ago, a lovely lady.
When the wife did a runner with another fella 34 years while I was in the Gulf, I came home to an Empty house, she took everything, absolutely Nothing left but the Commode, I am glad I found that, at my age I may need it soon.

Re: Seafaring gear found in your garage,
Reminds me of the J. Cash song about the guy who stole bits from the car factory he worked at and built a car from them.
Could it be that Brian, even in those days, had an idea to build he own cruise ship bit by bit?
Happy daze John in Oz.

Sounds familiar, mate of mine had a good job in Norway so did a 3 month stint, came home to find house empty - left him his Harley and 250k debt.
