Some of your best work Ned......

Does OSH know they sent the apprentice to the far end of the ship to take a photo of the Bridge?

"Here - take this... go down to the bow - tie yourself on and wait till we wave and take the photo ok".

... then go grab lunch...

Bridge?.... i dont see a Bridge Ned, but i do see the pointy end pic taken from the Bridge instead Ned

Yeah - poor little fulla didn't make it... that's why I want OSH involved. At least the captain's not hungry any more

I've been out on a few fishing boats and it's fucken scary at night when you hit a huge wave and the boat goes into freefall over the back of it for a few seconds!!!
Especially if its real dark and you fall out of your bed and can't find which way is up!!!

yeah, been out in a few storms when racing on yachts, great fun being the bowman and putting the storm jib up in those situations, but there's waves...and then there's those frecking things!!!

Dunno about ships but we've just completed work on the underpass for the Wellington Airport runway extension. If you're around the area have a look at some of the rocks that get 'chucked' up into the wash pit. They had to move one with the 10 tonne lift crane. That's not even at sea where waves get proper sized.

Going to require the services of a rather large crane, to lift the two halves of HMNZS Wellington from the end of the runway........

OOOh i feel ill
never catch me out in more than about one meter swell and never without my Pahia bombs

I work on a boat, and I am glad I don't go out where the waves get that big! Cook Strait gets pretty mean, but people tend to stay in harbour when actual green water is washing over the side.
