I was up at the Citroen garage,
collecting the Berlingo.
Then I had the urge to stop by at Findhorn,
and watch the sun set on the bay.
I suddenly realised that it was on this day,
4th February,
that I arrived on the quayside at Rotterdam,
my first ship looming up above me.
The first day of my former sea-going life.
Many years ago,
More than I'd care to remember!
