Default Back to the (grin)d stone.

100 miles to go and I'm home. Just got into Seattle. Stopped by the union
hall. Visited some friends. Phone rings. Hey you want to go work on a
ship that needs delivery to a dry dock? So . . .0500 tomorrow I fly to
MardiGras-itaville and back to it for a (hopefully) few more weeks.

So what's all this BS about no jobs and no high paying jobs? I can't get
more than a 10 day vacation after four and a half months of working 12-16/7?

Time for people to quit whining, get a clue and start "working!" I need
the break.

But in the meantime I'll take the money . . . . .miss the Oak Harbor L&A
party and cut yet another month off my schedule for going out full time
sailing. Life, as they say, is SWEET and the future is so BRIGHT I gotsta
where shades!

Especially before Kerry cuts the jobs, cuts the pay and raises the taxes.

Seriously, if US Citizens don't want to work there a lot of 'legal'
immigrants and 'legal' greencard holders from just the Phillipines ready to
take the money. And they are damn fine sailors.

Make that back to the lode stone .. . . .

Doug was right .. . .union is definitely the way to go!

Have Fun, and thanks for the Photos. Makes me feel better now knowing
I was not on the ugliest ship ever to visit Deigo Garcia. ;0)

There were 2 identical ones in the harbor in one picture, both looked
like roll on off type vessels. Looked real boxy like the jap car
carriers with side doors.

How many crewmembers are on your ship?

Fine name of a sturdy steel vessel painted red.

Oh and PS.

Why would anyone need a car on the island? I was floored when I saw
what looked like an oldsmobile in that one picture.

Oh well have fun in Orleans.

They have paved roads and sidewalks and everything. IF I getback I'll
take some 'downtown' photos and perhaps a DGYC hat or shirt or something.

They tore paradise just to put in parking lot.

Well so much for pristine tropical paradise. For you folks that do
not know Deigo is an atoll 1100 mile from the nearest land in the
middle of the indian ocean. It's less than one mile wide and 3 miles
long in a shape of a cresent or horseshoe, it as all atolls is a
sunken volcano a perfect natural deep water harbor. King Kong had his
island, Hecktor had Deigo Garcia.

It has? the clearest water and finest tropical reefs and fish on
earth. And some idiot brought a old clunker olds.
