A humorous occurrence this morning Alfred, the Chief mate, had his wife board yesterday. They are going to Long Beach for a vacation. Early this A.M. I must say from my glimpses in, Alfred’s cabin was cleaner than it had been the entire trip. It had looked clean to me but she may require spotless.…
We are on our way to Felixstowe and I am packed up and ready to go. Upon arriving I hope to get some pounds and groceries for my trip to London. The towel must stay behind. As I drink, the lesser amount of water, the lesser amount of weight. As I travel, I hope to…
