This afternoon Saturday, on channel 38, QUEST, in UK Four hours of Mighty Ships. fantastic show.
1st was the Norwegian EPIC, cruises out of Miami, ten hours to get rid of 4,000 passengers, scrub out store and load 4,000 more passengers,
then a Ro Ro running from Tacoma to Anchorage Alaska in winter, Storms, Fog, and Ice,
600 Container Trailers off and 600 container trailors on and sail in ten hours.
Then a small French cruise ship from Ushuaia, round Cape Horn to South Georgia and then the Antarctic continent, landing on ice flows and the mainland, millions of Penguins and seals. etc ,
I did that trip in 2009, the most fantastic trip ever.
Then the last, sailing a 307,000 ton Maersk Peregrina a FPSO storage tanker from Singapore to the east coast of Brazil and fixed in position near the Oil Rigs.
A very interesting afternoon, of a wide variety of ships,
I feel like booking Four Hours Overtime now.
Cheers
Brian.
