Well I have found another job. Its out of oceanography, this possibly
reflects the feeling between the government and its scientists.
For those that have heard of the firm I am about to work for Snap On in the 
Sun Electric Research lab in Kings' Lynne in Norfolk England UK.

Unfortunately this move means no computer access to the internet, for
a undetermined period of time, so I bid you adju for a short period, and 
thank you for the stimulating conversations and council.

I will be able to recieve email until the 07th april 1995 at this address.

I leave you will a poem about this afflication/fasination with the sea.

Sea Fever.



	I must go down to the seas again, 
	to the lonely sea and sky.
	And all I ask is a tall ship, 
	and a star to steer her by.

	And the wheels kick and the winds song,
	and the white sails shaking.
	And a grey mist on the seas face, 
	and a grey dawn breaking.

	I must go down to the seas again,
	for the call of the running tide.
	T'is a clear call and a wild call, 
	that may not be denied.

	And all I ask is a windy day,
	with the white clouds flying.
	And the flung spray and the brown spume,
	and the seagulls crying.

	I must go down to the seas again,
	to the vagrant gypsy life.
	To the gulls way and the whales way,
	where the winds like a whetted knife.

	And all I ask is a merry yarn;
	from a laughing rover.
	And a quiet sleep,
	when the long tricks over.




Tom

I have to go down to the sea again, to the call of the running tide
Tis a wild call but a clear call,  that cannot be denied.
