    Default First (and last) Step Up.

    Barely worth a mention and hardly wardroom territory, but I've somehow managed to do enough to become an ordinary seaman before the final storm hits - so hoist a pot or two & a glass for those at the top table to help me celebrate. Huzz-ahrr !

    Even though we will not get the new awards onto the new site I will make a few tomorrow to round off this foreshortened month properly.

    Splendid, Rob, I have an Anchorage founding member award on the 'drome which would have been appropriate here if the lower decks were not awash already.
    Church parade today to wet the young shaver's head, so I'm on best behaviour !

    Congrats, Dave.
    Good to see you found a friendly port since your airfield is 'under water' at the moment.
