Oh they do Bock, I once sailed on the Asgard and I puked for Ireland. The smell of sweat, diesel and boiled cabbage combined with cigarette smoke and a rolling sea will bring up the cornflakes in no time.
These days I don’t get sick only tired from the rolling, the young lads do be a bit green around the gills but.
Good luck.

Nice pic, Tim.

I never knew sailors got seasick.

Thanks for the compliment Tamara, and I’m glad you like the stories. This life has it’s ups and downs, and sides to sides as well as the story shows. I wish you a successful conclusion to your studies, and best of luck on the waves.

Hi Tim,

I just like to leave some “compliments”. Your little stories and pictures, about your voyages, are always a pleasure. They help to remind me why I chose this job. I will finish navigational school next year, the first stripe is waiting
All the best for you and a safe voyage.

Hi Dev, I wouldn’t leave this job now, can’t afford to and probably can’t be retrained if I could afford to, it’s fairly comfortable now this evening anchored a few miles off Penzance, Cornwall waiting for further orders!

Want to swap jobs? I’d be there in a heartbeat.

There were a few items that ended up on the deck, half a cup of coffee left a strange pattern on the chair in my office, and the smell of stale coffee remains. The internet stopped working and the satellite TV got sick, but we survived!

Nice shot and awful weather Tim! I bet you stowed all your stuff on the best place - the cabin’s floor…
