Ok ...so the steeds are ready ...both of them serviced and tuned and ready for the trips.
All the camping gear has been dragged out ...checked and cleaned.
Its still a month away , but the anticipation is building ...this is going to be soooo great.

Seeing that we are going to wait so long for the Story, may I ask, are you a Coxswain in real Life?

I was a Coxswain for the NSRI for many years. I used to skipper their flagship "The Jack Riley" and eventually ended up as the deputy station commander of Gordons Bay rescue base. But alas the ole ticker conked out and I had to retire on medical grounds ....still miss it

But yea ....that's where my forum name comes from , and yes I know it is spelt incorrectly , but I use it on another forum where there is a CoxSwain.

Respect, I get the monthly Mag from the NSRI and enjoy reading about the heroics of you and your Men.

I have an old friend who now lives in the USA. Mark Strachan. I think his dad was the commodore in Gordons Bay?
Ian, I think was his name.

Yep...I know Ian very well, He was the regional director.

Heng, I remember Ian Strachan really well...

Well done bud, real heart warming, that's what life is all about, bury the hatchet and move on, so little time, way too precious to waste.

Looking forward to this reunion!
