Sorry, I've had so many requests, and I've only just started updating today!
I've got it updated up until the beginning of February - so my first month on my first trip. I have notes for another few months until I paid off in May, so there's a lot more to come but I'm going to crack on with that after I get some sleep - the coffee's run out!
Included in this set of new posts are general seamanship tasks, South American ports, crossing the line and rounding Cape Horn.
The blog is mainly about being a cadet but there's a bit of travel commentary and LOTS of pretty pictures to look at!
Coming in the next few days:
So quite a lot of updates which will generate a heck of a lot of reading material - sorry!
Please have a look though, especially if you're starting with a cruise company this year - I like to think some of it might be a bit useful!
To bed!

PS: size4, I will never again wonder why it took you so long to update your blog. I totally get it.

- March - Australia, New Zealand, more Pacific Islands, Hawaii, California, Mexico, starting bridge watchkeeping
- April - Panama Canal, Caribbean, back to Southampton, Caribbean again, lots of watchkeeping, oh and my birthday too!
- May - Baltic and Channel Islands, even more watchkeeping, some exciting stuff and leaving my first ship
So quite a lot of updates which will generate a heck of a lot of reading material - sorry!
