    One presumes the paint is on deck and they lower the roller to the poor guy. I suppose the only thing that can be said, is that at least the ladder is solid and is not a rope ladder which would have been even trickier. Think he has done rather well with the border line between the boot topping and the hull.

    I, like moast of us on deck, have got up to some contortions to reach awkward places when painting from stages or bosuns chairs, bowsing in etc , but always thought i was doing it a seamanlike fashion, but don't think i would like to perform like this guy, maybe i lead a sheltered life !!

    Looked up A.Kavagi on Google and got the following so I assume the ship is named after the person who is the village is named after.

    She is obviously a small, old ship, (riveted hull) and the ab painting the hull is casual in the extreme, I wonder if the ship and the painter are still in existence

    Today Anadolu Kaveri is a sleepy fishing village located near the narrowest part of the Bosphorus. But the ruined castles, fortifications and ancient temples that surround it show how strategically important the area has been for millennia. The hills above the village give a beautiful view of the water and a welcome respite from city noise

    Victoria, you are to be forgiven never having worked at sea.

    OHS was not invented until well into the 70's by which time most of us were ashore and the shipping industry was going through major changes.

    It can now be found in most work places ashore and possibly at sea, but as most of the container ships are manned by those less fluent in the English language there si every possibility it does not.

    Victoria, if 'elf n safti' had existed in our time at sea, I doubt many of us would have gone, it was the adventure and danger that attracted us, we were brought up with danger and it was a way of life. Nothing like a sense of achievement climbing a 70 foot mainmast whilst the vessel was rolling, pitching and gyrating to change a light bulb in the navigation light, climbing a mast to secure a wayward jumbo in bad weather, struggling to secure adrift deck cargo in a storm, it was our life and we loved it, all without safety harnesses, helmets, goggles, safety boots, lifejackets etc, how the hell they get any work done now defeats me, by the time they've got dressed it's time to knock off!
