    ok who is to blame on this one , last Sunday in the Med

    my understanding was due to Tunisian crewing the galley boy was on watch , but just nipped down below to peel the spuds.
    Reply: Seems a clear case of the crossing vessel, with the containers, not giving way to the stand-on vessel, bulk carrier. However, when the crossing vessel started to get close - in broad daylight by the look of it - the stand-on vessel should also have taken some actions to avoid the collision, e.g. slow down, stop or alter course.

    That’s right Michael but apparently the crossing vessel with the containers is at anchor. Cheers JS

    from the vessel tracking the bulker was definitely anchored , and the ferry never adjusted course , maybe the watch-keepers were at lunch , in my time on Ferries there would be 3 on the Bridge at any time

    This was on the " Tradewinds" website but you have to sign in to view and read the full post. To say they have a " little problem" must be the understatement of the year.

    I am an inveterate whistler ( in fact, that became my nickname on a number of ships) and on my first ship, The Cortona of Donaldson Line) I was galley boy and was happy whistling away while I peeled my spuds on the after-deck, when the Old Man ( Captain Vernon) came down a companionway and told me to stop whistling. I thought he was joking but said " Okay Captain" and he glared at me and left. I went back to peeling my spuds and before long was whistling away to myself, happy as a pig in s**t when he came charging down the same companionway, mad as a cut snake and red in the face and shouted at me to be on the bridge at nine the next morning.

    Twenty Four hours later, I was two days wages lighter. The old bastard had logged and fined me. A day and a day. I was very careful where I whistled on that ship after that. I still whistled though and I still do. A few years ago I got asked not to whistle a certain song in the RSL ( the ex-services club here) because it was a Nazi song. I realised I had been whistling the ' Panzer Lied' , which goes to show that even the simple act of whistling can get you in strife.
