A Sebby Diary 06:48 - Jan 25 with 1861 views | NewcyBlue | Sometimes you just have to smile and get on with it... Hey Seb, It’s been a bit of a weird trip so far. My direct superior is a very aggressive and sometimes physically aggressive guy. He doesn’t respond to logic. He’s bullied the crew and the cadets. I stepped in, which may be detrimental to my promotion prospects. There’s a line. It got crossed. The physical, mental, and emotional well-being of my crew is far too important to me. I had some good news, I passed my Mates/Captains written exams. That means 2 oral exams and I will have my Captains licence. They were the hardest written exams I have ever taken, last leave I studied 12 hours a day almost every day. Hopefully you seeing me study hard left some sort impression on you and the rewards of hard work. Last leave I started teaching you to swim. Your confidence grew each time, it was incredible to be part of. I can’t wait to carry on where we left off. You keep telling me that you miss it too. I have about 6 weeks left on board. A Pacific Ocean crossing which will be quite sporty due to heavy weather. It’s been a round the world trip, Atlantic Ocean, through Suez, Red Sea, Indian Ocean, through Malacca and Singapore Straits, up the coast of China, calling at various ports, and soon to be across the Pacific and through the new Panama Canal. I’ll take a time lapse video of it to show you. I hope I am home in time for your birthday Seb, I have been away for the last couple of them. I will plan some special things for when I am home, and of course we will go to watch the football for some proper Father and Son time! The internet on board has been non-existent at times. I can only apologise for not being able to talk so much. I love you and miss you more each day. | |

Does that involve doing something painful with a coconut-filled chocolate bar? Of course at the time of the mutiny, Bligh was only a lieutenant, and almost certainly not the ogre shown in the films. | |
