Line voyage. A good friend of mine was a purserette (as they then called female pursers) aboard U-C ships including CAPETOWN CASTLE. It would be quite a coincidence if you were aboard at the same time! She wrote a book called "Union-Castle Purserette" which you might enjoy reading. One trip I'd really like to take (if I had the time and money) would be to St. Helena aboard the last working Royal Mail Ship, RMS ST. HELENA (http://www.rms-st-helena.co.uk). The few people I know who have done it have loved it and to me there is something very intriguing about a place that hasn't got an airport (yet). They were going to build an airport on St. Helena but I have now heard that some endangered birds lived on the site so they are not going to be building anything for the forseeable future. Works for me :-)! New Doug __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
