Hi Chris,
Long time...but I remember you from the Bhamo. Nice to see you around.......From the ED Website it seems you did what many others did: Went to Palm Line.
If you recall I was not interested in doing the Purser work plus the R/O's job...liked my time in port too much!! But in my latter years with Island Navigation, I ended up doing half the Catering Officers work......Just the Menus & Stores.....(the old man got the juicy part of the Bonded Stores!) a thankless job for which I got a cash bonus from the Old Man of USD$100 per month! (Didn't cover my bar bill!)

Nice to recall the Bhamo days....one of my favourite ED ships......Cheers, all the best, Steve.
