Right then about me

2nd Engineer, worked Deep sea Reefers, Large & small cruise ships, ferries and currently North Sea Oil Rig Supply.

I've been at sea for a decade now and consider myself pretty experienced on something. I however don't have all the answers.

feel free to ask me questions, I'll try to give you a blunt honest balanced reply.

I'm an engineer though so don't ask me about latest chart updates and so on, but I can answer questions about life at sea and stuff.

Cheers Ta

S

Most of the brands under the Carnival UK brand, You probably won't hear until 2 weeks before your placement. Don't worry, you get used to this hurry up and wait feeling!

Yeah - bit more than was planned, that was just a blog for someone elses benefit! I thought the list of things to take to sea that no one tells you was going to be more useful!!

[size4riggerboots]

That blog would have been more useful to me about a year ago! But it is a very useful blog

Ive only just started taking my own bedsheets - hmm cottony goodness, not "cotton rich"

[CharlieDelta]

Own bedsheets? Actually, in saying that one of our coxswains had his own pink duvet cover. Sixty-something male, with a pink duvet cover. Worrying.

[antijanner]

Yeah, I cant sleep in the poly ones - to hot/sweaty - not good.

Got 100% cotton ones from M&S couple of trips ago - very comfy.
