Captain Pugwash

[elmsliebev]

has anyone heard from the good Cap'n lately?

[BlueRiband]

There was a similiar question about a month or two ago. A person who knows him answered that he's quite well but for his own reasons doesn't post here anymore.

Far too busy cruising Cunard, and good for him ;)

Indeed, as I previously stated, he is alive and well.

 

We were with him recently on QV around the Canaries and in his company every day.

that's good to know. I did have a link to his newer blogs but that seems to have disappeared. I do enjoy reading his travel writing.

Hopefully we will bump him to him at sea one day.

The website where he used to post his trips changed formats and doesn't seem to carry that content any more.

He actually started a blog on our November trip, but then realised that nobody was reading it or commenting, so he stopped.

 

I did mention to him that the "Blog" button on the site he uses had vanished. He gave me the link, but it was cumbersome.

 

He was going to take the matter up with those who run the site, but so far nothing has happened.

Yes I would like to see him return here to CC for his cruise adventures.

Certainly more readers here than the BLOG he is on :)

[Solent Girl]

Such a shame - we were on the Queen Victoria's cruise to the Canaries in November and would loved to have met him; had we known he was on board.

 

We have followed his many cruise adventures over the years and have chuckled at his humorous writing.

 

Missing your blogs Jim, come back to us

So you won't miss him again, here's a link to a photo of him, taken outside the Verandah as we went for lunch on QV:

I couldn't find the blog either and the Capn sent me the link. He is investigating for further posts about where he will post.

[Solent Girl]

Thank you for posting the pictures Stewart, love your suite!

 

I remember seeing him around the ship and I think we sat at the next table to him in the restaurant for lunch one day.

 

Hope you enjoyed the cruise as much as we did - till the next time :)

 

PS Did you 'win' the Cunard flag at the silent auction?

[bunkrest]

Yes he posted a comment yesterday on the daily mail website not that I'm stalking :-)

[Scrapnana]

I have enjoyed reading his blogs in the past and I hope he will let us know where and when future ones will be published.

As long as that site complies with our guidelines, it would be good to hear how he is enjoying his travels.

[Underwatr]

Hattie, I'm unsure but I think in its earlier incarnation the URL for the site he used was auto-blocked by the CC forum software.

 

Testing: http://www.cruisemeet.co.uk. Seems to work now, but they don't have blogs like his any more.

It's certainly not blocking it now, I will need to check whether it is allowed as a link. As you say the format and content looks quite different.

[zoomerica]

Add me to the list of avid followers that miss his witty writing, Was reading on Cruisemeet, but as others indicate, after the update the blog section disappeared.

Yes, I had the winning bid (probably the only one).

Hi,

I was on the cruise too and would have loved to have met you and the capt.

Icame to the meet and greet on the day it was posted, but there was no one there.

Have tried to follow your link but it won't open.

I actually went to the Meet and Greet on the first sea day, at 11:00am, in the Commodore, port side..

 

I sat all alone for 10 minutes, then gave up.

Yes I did the same,

Sorry we missed each other,maybe next time.

[zoomerica]

Any recent news? I genuinely miss his musings…

[alibabacruisers]

I always think of him and wonder how he is and wish we could hear from him.

[BigMac1953]

A couple of months ago, he was on a MSC round Britain cruise, so we met up in Greenock and went into Glasgow. After lunch, I took him back to his ship.

 

Not quite as mobile as he once was, but otherwise fine and in good fettle.
