Thread Name: BS: A Visit to the Galapagos
Subject: RE: BS: A Visit to the Galapagos
Thanks, Amos!
I've sent the link to my Dad, especially so he can see the Galapagos. He served as 1st Mate on Texaco tankers during WWII. The only time he was ever in the Pacific was one trip through the Panama Canal to deliver fuel oil to the Galapagos. It was also the only place he was ever able to go ashore, since the Merchant Marines didn't have security clearance to go ashore in European ports.
