we had a fine crew aboard at one time. Unfortunately several have crossed the bar. John Briggs, Dom, Jim barnes to mention a few.
keep advertising for new crew members lads we need all the help we can get on this thread.

skipper, first and second mate. cook, bosun, carpenter. Bunting tosser (in case we sail into a naval port) we have cardboard cut out deck technicians. and plastic stewards. also would like to have a purser (for the subs).
All the above crew wanted urgent to save us from going into semi permanent lay up.

Lord V is ambidexter, he can cook and talk at the same time. He does a mean curry, Simla Curry.

Is that the curry with sultanas in it?
No, it's simla to yesterdays.

I can recommend the food in the BHP Mess at the Port Hedland Detention Centre.
Endless variety and quantity.
Even small frogs in the bathroom.

I see ''Tugfan'' reading. We could use a towmaster aboard for some towing jobs we might get. we are famous for our 300 ton BP. the cut outs know how to rig a Bridle so he wouldnt need to get his hands dirty. (we did some interesting tow jobs in the past with this vessel)

Mr varley get on the blower and see what the agent has for us will you. case of old tawney and a box of cigars for you on this one David.

When I've finished my little blow-out I'll nip round to the Baltic before heading to LCY and home. If any of brokers are up for sharing our cargo spaces - providing whatever it is has a good rate and won't contaminate the Tawny tanks - I'll get back to the agents ASAP.

The underwriters are asking for a declaration that we will not engage in the triangular trade. I have enquired for alternative cover but so far the deductible asked is astronomic.

(Here until Tuesday - funds permitting).
