Briefly, I get to Alicante airport and there I bump into my long lost shipmate Dave Winchester who moved, lock, stock and barrel to Spain 4 years ago. I hadn't seen him since, but prior to this he had been a member of several ships companies that I had the pleasure to serve with during the 70's, to the 90's.
