    What a great home, every seafarers ideal, maybe not engineers though.
    Retire to a beautiful place by the sea with your own cabin and wheelhouse that does not rock and roll so as you can always enjoy your G and T as the sun goes down in peace and no chart correcting to do.

    That is real class Charlie and I don't recall seeing a more splendid direction to the life boats. If I owned it and had my druthers I'd go down with the ship.

    Fantastic job, I always wanted to do that, get the accommodation off a ship and fix it overlooking the sea. What a way live your memories.
    I did the next best thing, I bought a house in Fleetwood on the quayside. and that is as near as I can get to a good view like we had years ago.
    Cheers
