Sorry to be a bit slow with the blog updates. I hope this movie makes up for it. Its been put together by a very talented crew member. There are couple of my photos in there and I play a small part in the proceedings. Sadly there was no suitable footage of my two DJ […]
On the weekend just past I concocted a recipe of sorts for having an EPIC weekend. It began averagely enough, I had agreed to spend a day with three of the deck lads. They are all considerably younger than me and prone to dare devil stunts and flights of fancy. In my agreeable state I […]
I think it is safe for the cat to escape the bag. The mystery location that I have mysteriously arrived in is the glorious collection of Islands called the Seychelles. The journey was uneventful, there was a boat ceremony which involved throwing days old rotting food at people who have not been across the equator. […]
Having a quite rigid employment contract means I have to be quite vague about where I am going and can only really write about where I have been long after I have left. This is not how I am used to doing things but so be it. I can safely announce that I have been […]
I have not written about a crew member for a while. But as chance would have it a real gem has come into my periphery and I have dubbed him the Pocket Battler. Lengthy back story time.

My objective was to disconnect from everything over here and reconnect with friends and family. I actually started writing up […]
It’s been a while since I really complained about something in earnest. On my most recent journey of some length I travelled with British Airways. I am not sure about you but I have not heard many complimentary things about British Airways in my lifetime. Luckily for me my trip home was with British Airways […]
This time next week I will be in the throws of high velocity suitcase transportation. I am taking a very well deserved break and going home. By the time I leave Barcelona I will not have had a holiday for about 15 months. That is a quite a long stretch and it is safe to […]
Determined not to have just another night in Barcelona the traveling team tricycle (Sam, Nancy and Myself) assembled on Saturday the 31st of December to visit Sitges for the weekend. My Saturday morning was filled with massive bouts of de ja vue. Not only had I just finished an evenings watch on board but we […]
Last Thursday I was subjected to one of the most gloriously decadent dinner parties since the fall of Rome. With one of our team leaving us to return to Rosario in Argentina and an Irishman going on holiday it seemed a pretty good opportunity to let loose with the boys. Organizing was left to Hector who in his infalible organizing capabilities left things until […]
