5 weeks after sailing finally got here , its everything and more. Bleak, Cold, Desolate...... just like leeds actually, Off playing golf today though so's not all bad hey! to top it all the ship is proper tits up and we may need to head off to montevideo to dry dock...... proper hard life this is i tell you ! only 5 weeks till im back in rio for 15 days...
RE: Have they struck oil yet? nt Believe the rig is going in next (Southern Hem.) summer. Lets hope our Rockhopper and Desire shares go through the roof.
Fair do's but I've waiting long enough so Im expecting a picture on the front page of the BBC site that looks like a scene from Dallas.
Shipmate, had a banyan on the small beach at Mare Harbour once and went for a dip in the oggin, I've never felt cold like that in my life. Enjoy Rio, it's a lot better than dog **** city, presumably as the ship is tits it's a 42, (you need wolf to do the Gulf). Have a good trip
they found oil , poor quality though enacol the drilling company are getting a bigger rig in to drill further down!! Fish stocks are running out so the local governemnt put the license price up , hence fewer fishing companies are now buying them!
shipmate , stinking type 42 mate , HMS Manchester , known no different for 18 years but made it to the gulf 6 times!! first time down here though so not done bad ,sat alongside mare harbour now, Duty PO as well !!!
