HI John
If Dave as you say is an old hand he will take the jesting in his stride, as all old sea dogs do.

HI John.
Perhaps that is why he lost his love, the Stewardess.

You mean it was harder to keep his ardour up ? JS
I was ch.off on a ship the Sunprincess in 1967 running around the West Indies and Canada . One of the stewardesses went sick and me in my innocent knowledge of women thought it was because she was recently joined and was seasick and not eating , so arriving back in Halifax loaned her my big parka coat and took her ashore to the Captains Cabin a well known hostelry for something to eat , did the same in Quebec to the Chateau de Frantanac , fortuanetly they had no available seats so was a lucky escape when I saw the prices, so finished up in Hungry Jacks. The R/0 broke his oath of secrecy and warned me she was in contact with an American who he said was the father of the pregnant stewardess , I didn’t even know she was pregnant , so let the 3 mate take over the chaperone work. Think he married her. Now just think if we were talking about the same stewardess as Dave is talking about . What sort of controversy is that going to cause , is really going to upset someone’s family apple tree. Cheers JS.

Adour all we are just human, well most of us so the lust goes.
Then the whole bloody show shuts down.
Happy daze John in Oz.
