I was given my usual cordial welcome aboard the Ocean Dancer and enjoy, becoming reacquainted with people I hold close. As teatime came around I was invited to stay but had to decline as my wife would have already started cooking ours, it would not have gone down very well had I gone home not wanting tea. Dirk was his usual charming self and I find him so welcoming as is Ralph Wilbanks the team's resident electronic specialist! I have spent some time with Ralph and found our conversations quite intriguing, and hope to be able to add a page on my website dedicated to Ralph and his very close relationship to Clive. I have made some changes to my website in particular my Clive Cussler pages. I learnt that the charter vessel was up for sale and was a little saddened to know that this year might have been the last time I was to see the familiar green boat as it entered the harbour. There has now been a bit of a twist which I have explained on my Ocean Dancer pages. Clive himself is expected over here this coming Friday and I look forward to sharing a drink with him. I will be happy to pass on belated regards for his birthday even though I have already dropped off a card ready for his arrival. I will of course return to update anything related to this years expedition. Colin

I wish I had checked up on you as I could have arranged fro you to meet with Dirk. Truth be told I thought you were further down the coast, sorry Colin

Thanks for the thought - in all honesty I don't normally shout from the rooftops 'I'm from Grimsby' but on this occasion it felt justified lol (Thankfully they all survived the visit, phew!!)
