Hey. How’’s it going? I know it’’s been a while, but when your audience amounts to single figures it can mess with your priorities. In any case I was on leave for a few weeks there while the majority of the crew haven”t had a day off since the discovery of grass. It’’s been pretty non stop since we left the yard. Everyone wants to play with our new funnels and stuff. We lost a few people and gained a few, as can be verified by the crew profile pages. But we”re humming along like the oiled machine we are.
The webcam is provisionally working again. But don”t expect non stop service until I can find a decent place to mount it. The main reason for it’’s sporadic operation is that it’’s ugly and no-one wants to look at it.
We”re in Corfu heading for somewhere else in Greece. That’’s all the news for now.. Keep your spirit loose and your trousers tight, and I”ll see you on the dark side of the moon. PS. Priest, I was only there 4 hours! And Heather, thanks for the note.. I thought I was just rambling in the dark.

Jerry,
Glad ya’ll are underway, back to my old hobby of tracking ya’ll via Google Earth. Let me know when you’ll have time and the room to put more pictures on the Gallery/History page. Several more Sailors from WW2 are finding us/you. The fond memories and tales of time at sea on the Beaumont are all coming back to them and the pictures are coming out of those old shoe boxes to share……
