Re: What was he best skive we found aboard. All departments !!!!!!!
Did not even try liners and gave tankers plus bulkers a miss as well. With the exception of the Esso Chelsea that I had to clear my book with by doing five days on as I put in for discharge while signing on. Had to give five days notice. For those that do not know her. She was an oiler for the power stations around London so never left the thames. Favourite task was on the Adelaide Star as loved doing derrick work and she had a few. How we used to split into two gangs and have races to see who could finish first especially flattening out.
That's the way the mop flops.
