TK Odessa seen at Ipswich.

I have been waiting for her in Flushing. Joining for the first time in July 1997. It wasn't impressed view. The only nice thing it was the owners logo, similar to my initials. She belongs to Civil Marine that time. Later I sailed on this ship for almost 5 years and visiting Ipswich, Medway, Shoreham
