   > 39 years you don't hear those numbers very often, congrats!   
      
   Thank you.  Not bad eh for two who wed on what may have been their 12th   
   date.  Certainly wasn't any more than that and we think it was actually   
   around the10th.  Some of them were whilst Kipper was on week-end watch.   
   Boat was sort of 'open house' then.  Some of the wives use to come down with   
   the kiddies, when the Dad was between watches.  They'd show movies in the   
   mess .. make tea etc.  A bit crowded, but good fun.  Sr. deck was pretty   
   good too.  Whoever was onboard would sometimes join us to see the movie/have   
   a cuppa.  Super group of people.
