Re: To My Best Friend and Shipmate

No harm done, MA. I am sure William will agree with me that it IS difficult for landlubbers to grasp how strong and deep friendships between seamen can be. emoticon

Re: To My Best Friend and Shipmate

Greetings,
I will have to say that Susan was jealous of the little time I did spend out at sea. I mean it doesn't even have to be just about sea faring people as when you depend your life on someone like that, there is an irrestible bond that is created. Thanks for listening. TTYL, Laters.

From,
Robert

True, Robert. Tight bonds develop between any groups of people who depend on one another to survive.

Greetings,
I am sure there is a strong bond even with sports players even. I know I think of the people I had on my basketball team from time to time. Thanks for listening. TTYL, Laters.

Robert

Re: To My Best Friend and Shipmate

Greetings,
Although my bond has somewhat diminished over the decade I haven't seen most of them. I see maybe 2 at most at SCA events, but only when I go to Estrella mainly. Thanks for listening. TTYL, Laters.

From,
Robert
