    So did he just ask to take your picture whilst onboard or do you moonlight as a part-time model

      He was on board as a trainee/ anyone we could get our hands on to make a skeleton crew to bring the ship back to the uk, he and two mates were all photography students. I've been trying to get hold of that pic for three years now!! I'd love to claim I'm a part time model, but who'd believe me?!

          Ickle feet yes, but I'm 5'7", it's a surprise I don't fall over more! That was indeed on the Pelican, my last trip, going from Madeira to the UK.

            How do you like it? I did a turn on Lord Nelson a wee while ago as a super, so I'm just waiting to see if they want me back as a relief 2/E; a real contrast to oilrig standby!

              I loved it, it's why I joined the MN, the original plan was to work my way up through the deck dept to Bosun but I never would have made any money... The new plan is to go back as 2/O when I qualify

                From what the chaps on Nelly were saying you don't do tall ships to get rich, even as an officer. If you like big white flappy things on sticks, it would seem superyachts is the only way to earn good money doing it.
