Re: Ex Ellermans
Welcome Peter, I retired in 2002 officially. Unofficially if you sail on here your more likely to get seasick than ever being at sea. Enough oldies on here to man all the ships of the Commonwealth and half the Chinese fleet. Cheers and welcome once again before the nostalgia gets a hold. JS
