Hi Seasafe 2008.
Welcome to this great MN site, hope you enjoy the posts, let us know the ships you were on maybe someone here would have sailed with you.

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

Well sesafe 2008, welcome aborad, dont take too mcu notice of some of the lads here, they tend to get a bit misty eyed at times, think it might be the sea mist. But grab a cold one, sit back and enjoy the voyage, never know who you may meet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
