I always sleep much better than I do at home. I suspect that it is partly due to the constant movement and noise, which seem to help me to sleep and not - as one would expect - stop me from sleeping. In your case nostalgia for working at sea is different ... and something that I envy. (If my eyesight had been better, I would have joined the Royal Navy ... but it was not to be.)<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-15435072220906680452014-05-08T11:56:18.033+01:002014-05-08T11:56:18.033+01:00Thanks for the post Bob.

One of the shots of Gibralter looks like a giant dug in a huge shovel and tipped the divot up onto its side and there it lays with the grass still clinging to the original top.<br /><br />The shots of ocean are enough to make one nostalgic about being on the sea instead of beside it.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-87215583768144257682014-05-07T23:06:54.207+01:002014-05-07T23:06:54.207+01:00Legatus Hedlius,

(How does your wife cope with getting on and off the Isle of Wight?)<br /><br />I have been to Cadiz several times, and each time I find something new and different about it. I would certainly like to spend more than a day there if I could.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-64956113995621828642014-05-07T22:50:21.196+01:002014-05-07T22:50:21.196+01:00Arthur,

Always wanted to do a cruise but my wife doesn't like being on the sea,eating in restaurants or foreign places! This one looked really interesting.

We do so shopping, a bit of sightseeing, and have some refreshment ... and then it is back aboard ship.<br /><br />I should imagine that there might not be a lot to keep you from getting bored if you had to stay there for any length of time ... especially if it was difficult to cross the border into Spain when you wanted to.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-66676822170288610182014-05-07T18:04:03.159+01:002014-05-07T18:04:03.159+01:00Really enjoyed that.
