Test Drive of Ship

As the title says, Today we where out to test all the ships systems before we go into work at the new place in Germany, which we are departing to tomorrow.

However, today was a bit of a harsh start at the day, I did have my watch duty from 00:00 to 04:00, which also where the time periode where I writed the last blog.

I went to bed as soon as I got releaved... to get woken up again 06:40 becuse we where leaving, and we where out of hands on the deck, So off we went.

After small 2 hours of work, I where more or less a dead man walking, so I went straight to bed again, and slept with no alarm clock on... just, sleep untill I woke up.... which resualted in I missed lunch... I never actuelly found out what was for lunch.

So bascily the whole day went on with.... sailing in circles, and that's basicly it.

But we ended up in harbor again in Esbjerg, ofcourse it was planned, our last stop before we go to Germany.

When we went out and in again with the ship, we had a little boat on the site, that we needed to go out with, and take onboard at sea, it's not a small boat, but not a big one either, it has a weight of 12 tons.

The way we get it onboard is by... lifting it with a wire in the center of the boat... imagine that, sitting in a boat and the only thing that is holding you from falling 10-15 meters down in the water... is a wire in the size of a remote to a television.

But atleast there where some beauty when we went in the harbor this evening, the Industrie is probebly by far not the most pretty thing, but it has it's momments though.

There is no way of knowing if I will be able to do any writing tomorrow... but I'm sure gonna try find the time to do it, and with lots of pictures when we will go through the Kieler channal.

Signing off, time remaining of watch... 2 hours and 45 min.
