Wow. That's amazing. Hope your Dad made it.

SHE WAS the fastest ship in the world they said so enemy subs lined up to take pot shots at her while she transported troops from NY to Liverpool.
How are you ll doing?
Greetings and Welcome Mayflower! What do you want to talk about?
He was lucky. Laying in bed, she rolled on her side but that bulk head that went down his bed was attached to so he just laid on that side till she righted herself again. The unlucky ones were eating. Men tables chairs and food all got smashed together. Horrible breakfast.
Haven't seen you in awhile. Glad that you're back in the fold.How are you ll doing?

Just plain dumb luck. He may have been sea sick too. Good thing he wasn't on deck or eating. He hated ships ever since.So glad to hear it. Wars are amazingly difficult situations that some very young men and women were caught in, right on the front line. It sounds like he really had presence of mind. Thank God for that!

Howdy again Mayflowe. Yeah I kinda guessed it was supposed to be Mayflower. It was too good to pass up though.
So if April showers bring Mayflowers, what do Mayflowers bring? Pilgrims, of course!
Sorry, I'll hush now...
This started off to make fun of sail boats. Some think they'er romantic but all I've ever seen or heard about on them is work! I like ships with engines aboard.
The Pilgrims only landed at Plymouth rock b'cause they were out of beer!
