Can I....

[Jim Blake]

Please can I go back to sea....I'll do the 12-4, no problem, I'll do Sunday turn-to's without a qualm, I'll do units in port AND clean the scavenge space, I'll live inside gennies and scrape bearings ('cos I'm old enough to remember how to)...I'll take the oldest and most worn-out ship you can give me if I can just, please, go back to sea and live out my life as it was meant to be, not as the politicians and managers and other human flotsam and jetsam want in this "wonderful" modern world....
