Killing Time – At Sea – 11/25/2011
There’s nothing like a few uneventful sea days to get you caught up on your sleep. That sounds terrible doesn’t it? But it’s true. Sea days are draining, they’re either draining because they’re crazy and hectic, or they’re draining because … Continue reading
Another Day In Paradise – Pago Pago – [11/23/2011]
The first thing you notice about Pago Pago (formally known as Pango Pango, which my Gran used to randomly mention when I was little and which I was sure didn’t actually exist) is that it looks like you think a … Continue reading

Waltzin’ Matilda – Melbourne – [11/12/2011]
“You want to what…?” “Campbell and I are getting bikes today…you coming?” Half asleep, I muttered something back to Wildish about “yeah sure, meet you at the gangway after drill” and fell back asleep…until of course the alarm that marks … Continue reading
Lest We Forget – At Sea – [11/11/11]
“And who are the lucky? The ones who survived? Or the ones that are no more? And who are the winners? And who are the losers? And what was it all for?” – Spirit Of A Nation, “Sometimes I Dream” … Continue reading
Dressed In Your Pajamas in the Grand Salon – At Sea – [11/08/2011]
For the record: everything is fine, the fire was apparently small and the teams had it out with a half hour. Everything’s in one piece, everyone is fine. As should be proved by the fact that I’m writing about it … Continue reading
