It has now been 42 days since we sailed. It seems quite strange thinking that we sailed in February and it is now April. I really can’t remember the last time I was at sea for this long, it really makes a nice change from my last few trips when we spent most of the time alongside. Although as ever it is hard being away from Debbie and the little ones.
It has, as ever been incredibly busy onboard but it is good working with lots of different nations, so far since sailing we have refuelled Brits, Dutch, Danish and French ships and should be doing Italian and Spanish ships in the coming week.
It does get a bit depressing watching all the news out here though and watching the region erupt in turmoil. It seems every week a different country is on the verge of following in the foot steps of the Libyans. I do however have a theory of why this is happening. It is basically down to the weather, out here it is quite warm and so as people get hot they get tetchy and decide to go out and fight each other, where as if you look in places like Norway where it is cold people feel it is better to stay indoors in the warm, rather than go out in the snow to fight. If we expand the theory a little further and look at the UK, it is neither too hot, or too cold but it does rain a lot which is why for years we built an empire trying to find somewhere that was a bit dryer.
As always there has been some wonderful wildlife around and as the sun set last night we were surrounded by a huge school of Dolphins. It was really great watching them frolicking in the bow wave. I had taken my camera down to get some shots but as the light levels were low I didn’t manage to get any reasonable ones.
Anyway that’s about it for today’s blog so until next time good bye.
