I've been in Spain since Monday, had a covid swab of the back of my throat via my nose. One of my bags got lost on the way to Spain and is still yet to get to me. It seems the lost luggage department at Malaga Airport just aren't working at the moment.
So on to tomorrow.
We are having a meeting in the hotel lobby at 0230LT tomorrow morning, with our Captain. After this meeting we have to go to immigration. There's 18 of us.
After immigration, we have to wait. There is nowhere for us to wait, so we have to wait outside. We have to wait until the process of actually buying the ship is completed, only then will we be able to go and set foot on the ship.
This is likely to be around 0600-0800hrs LT.
Whoever thought being a seafarer would be a good idea?! |  |

Someone has to actually buy the ship?
That means then you'll have to wait for some royalty or other to come along and smash a bottle of bubbly against the side.
(Make sure someone has a dustpan and brush set mate. Those days are gone where you can just leave that sort of mess lying around afterwards). |  |

Just nick the ship and save yourself the wait. |  | | |

You heading to Apapa? You got to get onshore Newcy. Plenty of trouble to be had if you can get a pass :-) |  |

You can't do that.
They turn those big hose pipes on you and you get all wet.
I've seen the film. | |

Will Phil be keeping us updated with the sale of the ship, using the special TWTD time continuum?
Sounds as though at the moment 'TWTD understands' there is interest in the ship.
We'll await the time the sale is 'imminent'.
Will the ship have to have a medical?
And will its sister ship get a job at Ipswich hospital?

That sort of ship doesn't need sales.
You're going back a bit there old boy.
They have those fancy engine things nowadays. | |

I always assumed you were Royal Navy. Assume from this that you are Merchant Navy?
Commercial ships or super yachts? |  |

Good luck mate good to hear that they are finally managing to get crew moving, it’s a huge problem right now which is hardly surprising. | | | |

Cripes, sounds nearly as much fun as watching us play in 2020 ... ;/
18 sounds a ridiculously small number of crew for such a massive vessel, esp if you're on a pirate route ... will you be?
Don't forget to post us the name of the ship so we can keep an eye on you; and stay as safe as you can. |  |

Just after 0500hrs here.
Final few negotiations on costs are being done.
Over 2.5hours we have been standing by. | |

Yeah we will have the threat of piracy on the West Africa coast.
18-24 is a standard crew size to be honest. | |

No this is just a small one. 249m long. | |

0721: around 5 hours of standing by, it seems the ship hasn’t been de-registered with flag state and classification society.
We have been told to stand by another 2 hours to see if it will go through today or not.
Currently sat in a ropey canteen in the port. | |

Although it sounds like they might be useful if Newcy can co-opt them and just move this buying a ship thing to one side... |  |

If only Newcy had put the original post onto Badger's 'no subject' thread we could have helped it on the way to ten pages with six pages of every TWTD poster contributing an 'Arrrrr'... | |
