Day 26 - 11 June - MV Trinity Bay

Not much happening on board. Meal times come around regularly. We have been reading books and wandering around on the muster deck.

This is the meals area.

Did a tour of the Bridge with Josh who is the watchkeeper at the time. The Master, Will was present too. Josh is 25 years old and has been at sea 8 years. He is just completing his Mate Level 4. He also drives the big crane. It is impressive to watch the crew at work. They all know their role and are constantly working.



Turns out it's not so hard...anyone can drive it ;-))

I liked the Master's mug.  Reminded me of home.

 We stopped off at Lockhart River where we were met by a barge at sea. More containers and a trailer were loaded on to the Trinity Bay.

 Pretty bored at this stage, they don't even have coits on the deck.  Where's the beach volley ball????

They do have a TV room where you can watch DVDs, but there is not much of a range and most of them seem to be scratched.  There is also a wide range of board games that the oldies seem to get into at night.
