    Who am I?

    Good Morning All,

    My name is Richard ones and I have been at sea some 39 1/2 yrs and am currently Master on Chevron's somewhat ageing shuttle tanker Aberdeen.

    I started at sea with BP Tankers and followed a conventional career path until Dec 1983 when I moved into the North Sea area which is effectively where I've been since in either the Merchant Navy of the offshore oil and gas industry.

    I have lived in Scotland (30 miles from Aberdeen) for the last 14 years with my wife, Kate and our two sons who both go to school in Aberdeen.

    Regards

    Ricard

      Bloody Hell! Someone older than me and who had to do 24 months seatime to get their first ticket! Welcome.....

      I was only in my third year of a cadetship in late 83 when you moved into the North Sea, just about to do a trip on the Oil Harrier.

      You are very welcome here, after all you have made me feel younger already. Just a word of warning, there are a few idiots about, and that is just the moderators!

            Hello and welcome...

            (ps, I'm not an idiot, I only do stupid things now and then)
            I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.....

              Be honest - more now than then.......

              I count myself in the idiots. This morning I made a phone call that was really important. Got some information and wrote it down. Took a phone call from someone else straight after, turned the paper over and wrote some comments down. When I had finished the second phone call realised I did not need the notes I had taken so shredded the piece of paper. Then spend 10 minutes trying to piece together said piece of paper.... (Like trying to make a puzzle out of a box of cornflakes!)

              Had to ring first Company again to tell them what I had done! DOH!
