#1 Hi Brian I so agree, sailing on tramp steamers around the world visiting places hardly changed since Captain Cook's ship dropped anchor in the bays, no highrise concrete hotels lining the beaches, long before jet travel, package holidays and the 1000s of tourists disembarking from the gigantic liners. The dusky maidens, tropical islands, carva, cubalibra, 1000 yen to the pound, the perfumed night air, and so on, like you say, those days are gone, where ships flying the red ensign visited the remotest parts of the globe, and then returning to pay off in Britain, telling landlubbers of our adventures, small town boys who had been never further than Rhyl, wishing they too were seafarers. Yeap, sadly those days are gone forever. PC

And the 5 big bottles of Asahi beer to a 1000 yen , 6 bottles if you could wangle yourself into the Japanese only bars . JS

#7 what happened to the left knee Brian ? Bitten by a mosquito. ? The little baskets like getting a man when he’s down. Reminds me when I brought Captain Hort back from Dakar to Rotterdam,stuck a small plaster on his healed stab wound and told him to show it to the Daily Expresss on their asking , to make amends for their untruthful repoerting in the first instance. Cheers JS
