You sailed on an S.S. Clanky? I thought you were still in your mid 20's

I see you did some dredging too!

clanky · « **Reply #11 on:** March 29, 2011, 16:29:26 »

I sailed on 2 ss'es Ballast and I can barely remember my mid twenties!

and yes, Sand kite, Sand Fulmar and WD Fairway are all dredgers, Ik hab Nederlands op de fairway gelernt!

clanky · « **Reply #12 on:** March 29, 2011, 16:31:51 »

*were all dredgers, the Kite is long gone to breakers, I believe the fairway had a bit of a bump and I assume the Fulmar is still around somewhere.

I know the Sand Fulmar and her sisterships. They came (or perhaps still come) quiet alot in my hometown with a belly full of sand. I also saw them a few times on the Tees and dredging south of Smith's Knoll.

The fact that you can't remember your mid 20's is probally caused by the flow of some juice..
