    Much earlier, lining up for the mile race on sports day when I was 13, looking for my parents in the crowd, running the race of my life and winning by over half a lap







    94-lap race), then seeing my parents drive into the car park 10 minutes too late!

    Gulf of Mexico, we're off Alabama, but moved east to avoid the hurricane, the peregrines came with us, and returned with us. They been half heartedly pestering some of the seabirds, Magnificent Frigate Birds (see photo), Booby's and Little Egrets (you'll have seen loads being an angler) they call them Snowy Egrets over here. I watch Peregrines a lot at home, the Wales coastal path has plenty, and there's a pair at Porthkerry.

    They seem to be eating plenty.

    Nice photos!

    Is it the merchant navy you're in? If so, I would imagine you have some kind of specialised skill - British AB's these days are as rare as hen's teeth, aren't they (mostly Filipino or Indonesia crews)?

    Was in the Merchant Navy, offshore now, Crane Operator on a pipelayer, we're gradually getting shunted out of this industry too. We've got Filipino's on here operating the smaller cranes. Can't be many British jobs in the Merchant Navy now, RFA, some ferries, used to have a massive fleet.

    I graduated out of Denton, Gravesend in January '78 as a' deckie'. Never went to sea though, I was missing a homelife I never really had. I didn't take the ship that was lined up for me (Holder Bros, Liverpool - South Africa) - one of my life's regrets when I look back on it.
    My mate, also from Cardiff (we were both at Gravesend together), used to send me postcards from the Shell tankers he was on, all of the crew pictured on deck, wearing just shorts and flip-flops with a can of beer in hand. This was early '80s...they probably thought they had jobs for life at that time.
    Now, any still lucky enough to be employed on ferries are wearing boilersuits, hard-hats, steel toe caps and high-viz... how times have changed, eh!
