Welcome to the happy ship Rob.

By the way, in your time in Sealink, did you sail with Capt. Robin Craythorn?

He is an old friend of many years.

Roy.

Welcome aboard - Have a look around.



You were enjoying the pleasures of Sealink at around the same time as I was 'playing'. I probably ran into you at some time.



I see you mention Earl Godwin twice - Now the Moby Baby and still running.

Thanks, Rob.

We knew Rob C before he joined Sealink, when he had a couple of seasons on the Western Ladies in Torbay. He had "come ashore" from Esso, and wanted to try something a little different. Good fun and always ready for a laugh, and a beer!
