BLUEMOMENT

Amazing how recognizing a familiar name can bring a grin to your face. Sailing back from Tobermory, I heard "Cherry Ripe" calling the ferry to advise him that he wasn't visible on AIS. Interestingly enough, I had noticed, a few days before, that his heading was 180 degrees out??? Anyway. I...

No, they are taking up space in my chart table.

What did she say? Is my memory still good, or am I loosing my marbles?
