Were working out of Los Angeles at the moment, doing seven day cruises down to the Mexican Riviera..... Will be back in Seattle every saturday from may for about four months doing the traditional Alaskan cruises.

This is my last contract working for them, as I'v qualified for my lump sum pension, so I'll be quitting in August. Starting up my own little buisiness back in the uk. Karl Norris will have finished my engine by then, so I'm looking forward to getting back home and sampling a genuine 420bhp. Hope we get chance to meet up sometime before I finish.

Keep in touch and if you get bored just e-mail me onboard the ship (Diamond Princess) at didseco1@princess.com.

Hoping to meet up with Alaska Cossie (Tom Meacham) again before I leave the company. Don't know if you've ever met up with him, he has the Eggenberger Escort Cossie (2.4 litre Long Stroke Engine ) Loads of torque and goes like stink.

All the best

Jim
