Memories
I was looking though various sites to find something to put up here in the quiz section and I came upon these two photographs and they brought back good memories, while I was looking at them it was as if I could feel the sea underneath me, I hope you like them..........

Nice pictures, land lubbers would never believe us, they couldn't understand how ships got rusty, and we went back for more!
