Friends of the Eye : our gossip
The contact page for people who sailed in the Eye of the Wind. As we're such a wide-spread bunch, this may be the place to get in contact again with your old travel mates.
You may notice this is not the familiar look of this place. But indeed, due to a huge spam problem, I had to upgrade the place. So about everything is different from what it was and I did not fully understand the design tricks yet. But as soon as I did, you'll get the varnished timber back, I promise!! :)
Also, due to now more than 2000 porn and other junk entries, we now require a log-in to post, hoping to keep the robots off. I am tired of dealing with all that crap.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but otherwise the forum gets flooded under junk. For any questions, please email to: At the beginning of the address, put friendsgossip, then the "at" symbol, then my family name, which is Koys. At the end, close with .de for Germany. Sorry for providing a riddle, but sometimes 800 spams per day is enough to me. I have to do something about that. Hope, this helps both of us - you and me.

John knows the Eye nearly as long as Tiger does. He began to work on her when she was in Faversham and still not much more than a pile of scrap. But infected by the spirit of the people he found he began to believe she may have a chance. So he joined the work on the wharf and later the first voyage across the bay of biscay and the Atlantic.
Like many others he never left her and returned when ever possible. On the last voyage he sat on the monkey poop asking us "greenhorns" (who only were with the ship for less than 15 years) if we could imagine there was a time when there was not a single shining part on the ship. We could not.
