Welcome to our happy ship Robert.I envy you your long career ar sea.I only did 8 years before settling in Melbourne. I have a feeling you must have bumped into an old shipmate of mine resident in Perth. He too was ship's cook on the Aussie coast until retirement. His name is Bernie Myers and we go back to the early 60's with Port Line. Cheers mate Neil.
