Hi John,I see you were with Cast.I did a trip on the Cast Privilege in 2000,calling at Antwerp.Johanne came down and took me ashore with his wife and kids.My son Kevin was Marine Ops Manager at the time with CPships.In Montreal Mathew came down and he gave me a good run ashore also.I realy enjoyed the trip,full Croation crew,I must say I spent most of my time on the bridge.
I'm sure you know my son Kevin he now lives in Croatia and I'm off there tomorrow for two weeks,cant wait.

Hope this gets to you before you leave.
Yes , I certainly remember Kevin. We worked together for a few years albeit on opposite sides of
