Tmax moves in circles, such is their influence that HMS Diamond will escort us thro the Bab.

That's alright then... I think...
That's not round and round in actual circles though, is it?

At this rate, Cape town for bunkers and stores (and a quick half ashore) late tomorrow afternoon.
sent a message to that bloke with the Aldis at Dover. We were off plymouth by the time he read it.

I will look forward to the GD in Melbourne. By Easter the snakes should have gone into hibernation.
Pump up the bike tyres, oil the chain (with some gee-wizz slippery lubricant that I just found on the internet) and camera at the ready.
Anchor under the Port Control Tower free as they seem to miss reporting half the arrivals and departures.
Come via Cape Horn just for a change.

Britian is powered by circles, nods and winks, funny handshakes and smutty behaviour in public schools. Brexit has, naturally, separated us from those surrender monkeys across the channel.

3 in 1 oil is what you need and it will oil the mirror mechanism in your camera. Don't fret about the missing ships, they're only dropping well wrapped parcels off to local fishermen.

Got put in some shore time lads. Everything is flooding here. Roads and bridges being washed away, Landslides. this house is ok at the moment but the flood level is rising. Non stop rain for 3 days already and that water will be running down from the mountains for another 24 hours. catch up with you all when I can. I leave ES in charge in my absence ... Enjoy.

Water is a danger whether at sea or on land, at least at sea some attention is paid to make allowances but on land building regulations are pretty slack. Take care BB.

E-S I/C Plumbing? We're doomed, I tell ye, Doomed.

(Get dry soon Sir W. DPA has put the attached in the post but says you have to take it with you when you re-join as its vacant space on the wheelhouse bulkhead is why the SEC is short-term).

The Arms of Cork City were officially registered by the Chief Herald on 23rd August 1949 and are described as follows:

"Órdha ar thonntracha mara long trí-chrann fá lántseol dualdaite idir dhá thúr dhearg ar charraigeacha dualdaite ar gach túr bratach airgid maisithe le sailtír dheirg" Leis an Rosc "Statio Bene Fide Carinis."

"Or, on waves of the sea a ship three masts in full sail proper between two towers gules upon rocks also proper each tower surmounted by a flag argent charged with a saltire of the third" with the Motto "Statio Bene Fida Carinis."

Many thanks BB but I'm inclined to side with His Lordship.

In mitigation I'ii say that whilst Engineering is my profession, navigation was always my hobby so I'll get you to the Pilot Station in Melbourne and YM can be elevated to Docking Pilot.

Rusty, The framed instructions came as part of my 21st birthday present from Brother. Along with a torch and some other marine related bric-a-brac that he thought would amuse his sailor boy sibling. David V
