Close hauled on the port tack.??? I liked the easy ones when it was obvious they were in stays. Gave you a good idea on how the examiner viewed you, collar and tie, shoes highly shined and a subservient attitude. As an added precaution I always cleaned my teeth and took mouth wash. Cheers JS. PS had teeth in those days. JS.

My Michiko was in Kaimachi and a virgin (well that's what she told me) she was so demure and beautiful, broke my heart to leave her, your Michico was in Yokohama and well known to the US Fleet, bet she didn't tell you that!Quote:

See how easy it is to change the mood control........................ We may well have all been different ratings but the common denominator is we were and are in the same boat. We all sailed with different companies come from different countries, We need new members nautical input and knowledge and indeed quiz questions. All those outfits sailed to the same ports and the same seas as seaman did from day one. Stop trying to keel hall others its something we all have to indulge in, But i find myself agreeing with Ivan religion, Politics, And personal attacks are the things that create wars, So lets get nautical no Merchant Navy ever created war so why should we. :0012:
#well im getting worried ....every body so nice ....something adrift .....we will all be blowing kisses to each other next .......still not dropping my soap in the shower.......lol cappy
Now Now Cappy don,t flatter yourself....................... Unless of course your talking from experience i got shafted a few times at sea but they where logging's. I am sure many would step over you to get to the dhobi woman in Trinidad. :Seeya:Quote:
