Re: Who\'s been out today?
It was an incredible site. We berthed on a virtual cliff face and the conveyor belt ran for miles to the ship, the ship would then move along while the holds were loaded. Every so often a bulldozer would be loaded into the hold to level stuff out. This was always a worry because they weren't the gentlest of drivers and you had to watch them like hawks otherwise they'd just whack ships beams and weaken them.
My crew were Norwegians and they asked to use a ship's lifeboat to go fishing. My goodness, I didn't know Cod came that big. Mind you after a week of eating fish I thought I'd never eat one again. Norwegians even seemed to want to make their coffee with fishy water /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
