Was on a BP Sailing Club boat (48 footer)Had a 25ft Sadler (yacht) back in the day. Nice boat & could sail it single handed. Furthest distance offshore...Dover - Wissant (Plas de Calais)

Daylight only and terrifying, so much seriously heavy traffic. Only once !!

My Dad spent virtually all his career working for BP in Llandarcy. He played soccer a few times for BP U.K. v BP Germany

Talking of my family - my Sister has - within the last hour - told me that earlier this afternoon she has been diagnosed with an inoperable and incurable cancerous liver tumour.....

She’s seeing a Consultant in Southampton on Monday.....

Oh no, what terrible, terrible news.
Words fail me, after such a dreadful year and now this.
Probably a good time to close the thread.

Sincere thoughts are with you and your family

Have the best evening you can <peacedove>
