Re: Handling course

I dont need one for this. I have a Captain, crew, galley staff & everything. I just have to turn up for a month at a time & tell them where to go. Cushtie!!

Hang on, Guys....

You're not reading this properly!

It has a Captain. crew and galley staff and h00 "turns up and tells it where to go". He could tell them to go to the Solent and we could have a MoBoChat Laying-up Supper onboard. /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

In fact, if we were really careful, we could probably hide our little treasures aboard for the winter and they wouldn't notice.

I thought mine would fit in that lifeboat. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Re: Just one little hitch...

we happened to be attached to a bloody great drilling rig and in the process of pumping thousands of gallons of acid into an oil well. But........on reflection.......

Re: Just one little hitch...

Not smart enough to be the Captain, but that seems like too much responsability too me. Mind you with full DP class II, not such a difficult job but still carries all that weight on his shoulders.

Re: Just one little hitch...

The DP system uses several reference systems to co-ordinate, GPS, Tautwires & on locations at rigs etc, a lazer fanbeam system using reflector on the installation & also an Artemis?? system. DP system use 3 computers for failsafe capability. It's still an ugly brute now 17 years old, but is still the biggest & most succesful Oilfield Stimulation Vessel in the business.

I envy you. At present we are loading up in Esbjerg harbour & sailing out again in the early hours. Enjoy your trip & be safe.
