Paul’s Memories
Paul Ridley kindly sent in these photos. Due to my current ill health I’ve been unable to do a proper section so I’ve posted them all together here and will organize them at a later date. Below is the only recognisable shot of Paul I could see. Great photos Paul and sadly no, I didn’t recognise anybody but I do know I should never have left the sea that’s for sure :)
