Plungepool fun

It's unbelievable what a little sunshine can do!

Ok, it was Sunday, and we were all pretty tired after riding a storm for the best part of a week. But the ingenuity of it all - it left me speechless and giggling with joy for the whole afternoon. Some clever mind found an old inflatable pool which got set up on the heli-deck. Connect an airhose for pressure, and a firehose for water, add some cool beers and jump in.

Fantastic!

Magnificent!!

Just what the doctor ordered!

More soon please!!

Pretty please!!!


Later we stopped the engines for some maintenance and a swim-stop. As we have
been heading south for the whole week, the weather has been getting warmer and more tropical. I'd hazard a guess and say that the ocean was about 30 degrees Celsius, and that's pretty warm considering that most of Europe is firmly in winter mood. So we drifted in the northern Pacific, life-vests strapped to our bottoms for buoyancy, cool beers for drinks and the warm salty water to wash off the sweat. I can't remember the last time I felt better on a Sunday...

  1. Jiri,

    Well deserved time. Glad the weather cleared up. I was searching for tools on the web and came across a site that actually has live feeds from ships giving coordinates. Of course there are several unknown, like yours as well, but maybe you can guess and deduct? I do not know how, but there has to be a way you can find out. Keep your spirits up and I admire everything you are doing and keep the pictures coming since they are awesome....Stacey
