Does anyone remember my cousin from Shaw Savill Line? He was Keith Murray Brown.
He married an Aussie called Helen and he left The Sea and had 5 children. They settled in Auckland, New Zealand. Keith spent his working years as Chief Berthing Master for Auckland Harbour. I used to visit him and family everytime we came into Auckland on Oriana.
Also, Derek Kemp? (Name escapes me!), was with Keith on Shaw Savill. He was Relief Captain on "Discovery", the old IP. when I worked on her. Do any of you remember Derek?
I remember a few times in my first year on Canberra in 1979, that Alchohol and sunshine got the better of me in the Canaries. Suddenly it hit me hard in the back of my neck.
By the time I worked on SAGA they would breathalise you!! They never, ever did me, but by that time limits were VERY STRICT. It ammounted to approx 1 glass of wine spread over a 3 course meal. Nothing to what we drank with P&O and I was a lightweight. I was known for "not drinking much"!
All makes for happy reading.
