Oh Ian it does sound as if PAtience has the familiar aroma of an old
clipper...maybe just the aroma of Indias best is missing...I feel you
might not have been at home on Solitaire and been banished to the aft

Use kerosine to heat, light and cook. A diesel engine for power. Start

I've just spent a couple of months sailing in Holland. Met lots of
nice people including one young lady visitor who remarked "Wonderful!
A real wooden boat, and it smells like a boat should, just like my
