On The Water with the CMA CGM Charcot

We have been on the water now for more than a week.

And what a week. Not long after leaving Sydney we got to Brisbane and a few other friends joined us.

But than the party really started when we hit cyclone Hamish.
My goodness what a storm.

Just aswell that we were well strapped down. I heard a few cries on board of stuff that was not so well secured. When you open those boxes at the end of the voyage...... What a mess.
But I can report that we are ok.

Being on deck is not an ideal spot. It was first cold and now stinking hot.

All this tossing around has not been good for our stomachs. We have been spilling a few bits and pieces. I also noticed that the boss left his driving glasses in here. Not so smart as he needs them still in Sydney.

Also those reds into my mates cabin is sloshing around and now the heat of the tropic..... That will only be good for the sewer when we finally arrive in Istanbul. Sorry Mick.

New Zealand Contingent

What a smart looking Dodge.

In fact I have never seen one of those before.
Did the Russians copy these ???
If it goes half as good as it looks, then it will get to Normandy.
For sure...









But,.... those ropes look very flimpsy and the blocks
will require fumigation at the other end !


Hopefully the Dodge will come out as smart as it went in and
does not get a bloody nose




Very smart looking combination but,
Holy shit..... , is this colour the NZ interpretation of

"olive drab green"

To be honest it looks like it has been behind a NZ pooh spreader .
Hopefully not smelling like one ?

Until next time , Willy
