Back on site again after bit of time away.
Thought it was time to check in again.
I left 'Vindi' on December 1964 and sailed on these ships..
Braemar Castle (galley rat, 2 trips)
Aragon (Pursers dogsbody 1st class Saloon boy, 1 trip)
Kenya Castle (Saloon boy, 1 trip)
Port Albany (Pantry boy, 1 trip)
Brasil Star (2 trips, Steward)
Port Alfred (Engineers steward, 1 trip)
Came ashore in 1967. Couldn't get over sea sickness! Great times though.
Nice to be back.

Re: Back on site again after bit of time away.
Jeff, Facebook is bad enough but COPD is not nice at all.
Have a sister in law with it, a nurse and heavy smoker.
Hope you have it under control now.
Hang in there, you will be fine.
