Tanker Anecdote Post date Action
EBALINA

Sailing from New Plymouth to Houston we called in at Pitcairn Islands and met the local people. It was an exciting experience for all on board, especially the cadets.

I was back to back Master with Mike Rich. In Arzew we were fired at during lifeboat testing -a scary experience but fortunately noone was injured.
