Harbo writes;
I just met up again with Jerry Tweddle and John Ward in Whistler. Jerry emailed to say they were coming out from the UK for a ski and John Ward and his wife Eveliene were flying up from Sydney, so we arranged to meet up at the weekend to do a bit of skiing and sink a few sherbets. There were two other ex-seadogs present, my wife Sarah and Jerry's wife Janet. Last time we all got together (we think) was at Bruce Waller's retirement 16 yrs ago but like a lot of these reunions, it was like just picking up where we left off. A good time was had by all (even if I did bugger up my knee skiing).

Four of us had a P&O reunion in Sydney. We joined up at the Australian
Maritime Museum with spouses and retired to The Pyrmont Bridge Hotel for
lunch and ponder on days of old. The group in the picture :-

It had been some forty odd years since sailing with each other for some of
us. We all had a great time.

Noticeably absent is the 3" of blubber from my "belly". Garry & Di provided a superb feast of fresh tiger prawns, steak, unbelievable lamb chops and succulent chicken kebabs and the beer and wine flowed freely. A great Sunday afternoon indeed, made even more special when Garry presented me with a gift, a priceless Oriana memorabilia item which can be seen here.
