Re: Would it be worthy of a heaving line
#1. It’s like looking at photos like that, that makes us realize that all the stories you read about growing old gracefully are a load of bollicks. You wake up one morning and find you are incompetent , incontinent, with still the evil intentions , but inoperable to carry out., an aspirin doesn’t seem to work. Maybe if wait a bit longer this second life will burst forth. JWS

Re: Would it be worthy of a heaving line
True story: Few years ago my lady doc asked if I was still sexually active. Asked her to to repeat the question. After some thought I put my finger to my forehead and answered, ' only up here'. She never asked me again... still waiting. Cheers. Happy Easter to All, Eric
Re: Would it be worthy of a heaving line
We were heading south when we received a call from the north bound mailship, they had found a female stowaway and wanted her returned to S.A asap.
We (the Clan Ranald) replied that we could do it, arrangements were put in place, rendezvous agreed, we were getting excited a female onboard for the next week or so.
We spotted the mailship on the horizon, went to standby, our lifeboat would do the transfer, the sea was a bit choppy, not to bad.
As we got closer, mailship radioed that the sea was to rough for the transfer to take place.
We cursed the mailship, fair weather seamen an all that.
The interesting point is that they made no attempt to slow down.

Re: Would it be worthy of a heaving line
We carried a stowaway on the Beechwood an ore carrier , she was out of Betty’s bar opposite general Terminus in Glasgow. Normally. We would have been going out straight Foreign. However as chance would have it we had to go down to Liverpool. First . She was put in the Pilots cabin on he bridge. I noticed the old man spent nearly all the time with me on watch, asking about her welfare. The police took her off arrival Liverpool. JS.
