Hi Fred, it gave me quite a start seeing this picture of a container ship's foredeck! I am an old sailor and quite frankly, I know damn few of them now. My first command was a product tanker in about 1984, I think. I of course worked on break-bulk as a young man and was C/O of a few intermediate container ships that could load containers in the square and onto the deck. That was about a hundred years ago too. Most recently I worked offshore in the Persian Gulf and that was great fun. I only stopped work at the end of 2016.
I like how you spoke of the 'flow' when writing - and in your second or third language too! Jolly good, I'm impressed. Incidentally, my grandfather who we called Poppa was also Frederick - with a slightly different spelling. Best wishes. Michael.

well you will connect to people here in those 2 hours. I'm trying to follow my coach and write a blog in 90 minutes evn if its crap!( Nowhere near that yet)

That's okay, just keep at it, slowly but surely 😁
