Welcome
Welcome Seasafe. Sign on and enjoy the trip. No unions, no ship owners, nothing to give us any grief just a load of old fellows and one or two LADIES who relive their life at sea, listen to their mates and sometimes put out a shoulder to lean on. Grab yourself a berth matey and get down to the mess room. Mike

Hi there.
What do we call you,we shall have to have a name You havent given any
details about yourself,when you went to sea,what ships you sailed on???
I live in Llanelli,South Wales and went to sea from 1952 until 1959,after
first doing my "time" at the Vindi.Sailed mainly out from Swansea on Tankers
and a few trips out from Tilbury and Southampton on "Big Boats".You will
be glad that you "signed on" as you will meet people here who are a mine
of realy interesting information,anything you want to know,just ask,you'l
be suprised at the answers you will get.Hope that you are keeping well.
