    Default Some days you just wish you'd chosen a different job

    Bet the captain of this heavy lift vessel wished he had stayed at home or chosen a different profession.

    While in Shanghai used to see these heavy lift ships heading down the river. Looked odd with those container cranes as cargo. Must have been interesting if you hit heavy weather, not for me thanks.

    Was she run ashore or did she capsize and finish in that position.? JS
    As regards a different profession how about a brothel owner although an apprenticeship for that may have to be a pimp. With a salubrious bar attached of course can just see myself drawing the pints for my customers. Cheers JS

    Saw some on the news the other day about a ship due to go for scrap.
    But it has been saved and turned on its bow to stand stern up to house some scientific equipment.
    Maybe this guy had a similar idea but it went very wrong.s
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Life is too short to blend in.
