Three great voyages, storms in all three.

Miller/Churchill

Hi, Robert, I wasn't on any of your voyages, but I shipped as trainee in 67 (SWC) and in both schooners during 70s as Navigator. You can find an active group of schooner crews on Facebook.

That's a good start, thanks. I don't "DO" Facebook but I know someone who does, and she's always "on it" when in my house - so I'll be able to get my own back!

Hope to contact some of the boys - who will all be old men like me now. SCARY !!

Thanks again
R
