Dan, Iam happy for you, one of your Dreams is coming true. Shame you have to sell off some of your things, it all can be replaced with new and better stuff.
There are new adventures coming your way, and what better way to enjoy them is with your best friend, your Wife.
I was in Sydney and Brisbane back in June/July 1964 with the U.S. Navy when I was on a Destroyer.
A little shortcut from Yokouska, Japan to San Diego, Ca. The Sydney Opera house was just in the begining stages of being erected.
There is a picture of our ship with the arched bridge and the opera House in the back ground.
You know there is a ritual you will have to go through when crossing the line. you will have to meet King Neptune and his Royal Court.
This is the initiation of becoming a Shell Back from being a Pollywog.
we`ll be looking to hear about your forth coming adventures.
Charlie
