Sorry Barry - in my e-mail address I put a `comma` rather than a `fullstop` after my initial . This is my address and all you other SSM guys out there - note my change of address. Regards to all.
Attention Barry Wood - tried to send a photo of Baron Garioch to you but e-mail returned undelivered saying you don`t have an account with yahoo. Contact me direct and will try and sort.

DR was a status symbol.Three month trip lasted 11 months. BOT rations fab way to lose weight and never seen a kipper cut into 3 pieces..Companies men got two pieces.Chasing about ocean looking for rain water.Broken down off Aleutians for 8 days .Capt said not to talk to other ships did,nt want them to know we were broken down.We rolled to 47Deg.!!! Max was calculaed at 49Deg.or she would,nt come back.
