Somewhere in the Med. Two Decker heads for the sea, another refitting masts and rigging. However it is 'Dhobi' day on the Frigate with the crew's hammocks strung in the rigging to dry.

Re: Dhobi Day
What a wonderful portrayal Jim ........ was torn betwixt the detail and the subject ......a case of wonder against laughter which was greatly appreciated by me .
Absolutely love the detail of the rigging Jim which looks spot on , which having viewed the Cutty Sark is praise indeed my dear friend .....top's marks [ forgive the pun
]
I will print this and Frame it Jim it will hang in pride of place

Re: Dhobi Day
Brings back memories of the 50's on Destroyers when we trailed our hammocks over the stern to wash them and secure them to the guardrails to dry them . God help anyone who could not tie a decent knot .
