    Apparently not.... There is nothing on the forward deck that will require crew to be there. (So long as the light bulb on that forward poll continues to work!)

    All of the anchor mechanisms are below the ship....

    All to reduce radar cross section.

    Yes, that's a British Royal Navy Sea Harrier on the deck of a Spanish ship after a most unconventional landing...

    One of the largest heavy lift/crane vessels, the Saipem 7000. She can lift 14,000 tonnes!

    But look at the men for an idea of scale and also how awkward to board if you don't have a helicopter handy!

    Quite a tough looking supply ship. But you can guess what the other crews in the fleet have renamed her...

    Was on almost identical one of these Tidewater vessels recently. When departing vessel in Broome this oddball was on the other side of the quay.
    Chief officer called her the Kimberly Love Boat.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Jeez, I confused her with a cruise ship at first sight. I don't know if that says more about my thoughts or about the cruise industry? ;)

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    Came across this on the tube,

    Docking a ferry in Greece. I' not sure if the lorry getting on is more impressive than the motorbike.

    Taken last week in Newcastle Upon Tyne as a car carrier leaves the shelter of the river and meets the rollers coming in off the North Sea. I've been out that harbour many times and even in calm weather it feels almost like that!

    Just out of interest why did the pilots in the Rotherdam video swap life jackets before the left the helicopter?

    I imagine one is automatic and one is manual. An automatic lifejacket in a helicopter is not good. If the chopper ditched and rolled over you'd be stuck inside it as it sank.
