In 1955
A Memory of Sharpness.
I joined the Vindi late 55 and did my 6 weeks catering. I loved every minute of the regimented days and the food was great after being on rationing at home. I remember two of the lads in our hut going over the wall one night, must have missed their Mamas. I first trained in the galley but was sent to the dishwash station, then to the spud locker in the focsle. I guess I coudn't go any lower so that's where I stayed while aboard for the last two weeks. Then it was off to the pool in Liverpool, my home town. Got my first ship the Forester, Harrison Line to East Africa and 20 ships later I emigrated to the USA .
