Perhaps because the sea is not in our blood probably explains why some of us suffer seasickness. I lasted a whole two weeks as a steward onboard a ferry!!
Hats off to anyone who survives that especially with regards to cleaning in rough weather. 🤢 🤮 🤢 🤮 🤢 🤮 🤢 🤮 🤢 🤮 🤢 🤮 🤢 🤮

#52Ancestors - Water

Although coming from the Dover area of Kent, England actually have less ancestral lines who were found on the water (e.g. fisher people) but more in employments connected with the land and just a few who were water adjacent.

I had similar and ended up more confused because there is not much consistency between companies. Also, depth of fitted sheet is a tricky one. Do you get a number that matches depth of mattress or a bigger number. Dunelm v Tesco (Dorma) had different terminology / measurement ideas it seems!!

Just one in the main group shown in the image (taken from Google Maps) was the other way round. Any ideas? I think yellow arrow is pointing northwards.

So although not going to properly partake in #31DaysOfGraves did go look at the nearest graveyard to me this morning.

A few of the prompt items identified but what I did find is that where majority of the gravestones were all facing one direction (looking direction of orange arrow to read them).

Google Maps snip of the satellite view of a graveyard where some trees and many graves are visible. Annotated with orange and yellow arrows as per commentary.
