Hi Jim,
Probably waved to you - I was in Inchanga while you were in Isipingo.

Sorry, Jim.
Your last Bankboat was 6 months before I first went to sea. (Sad)

There's hope though.
Three of the six old crewmates I've met through SN were Bankline. (Thumb)

Hi Jim,

Think I might have followed you into the EASTBANK around that time in 56 -Did you leave her there? Joined her as second mate in Surrey Docks - Capt Barry Mitchell - Mate John Hawkes - Great 8 month trip.
