First aid kit serviced by lily at start of week , thanks Lily π saved me having to do it π
There are 10 life jackets located in the inside stbd aft cabin vertical locker that require removal cleaning and mould killer applied and washed and sundried that I wasn't able to achieve before finishing, so could some upcoming master, any master , please order 2 x bottles of mould killer next order and finish off the cleaning of the last 10 jackets would be greatly appreciated π
FYI for any one not reading every handover notes throughout the last 6 months , The EPIRB has been removed from the vessel 4/11/25 , deregistered as it not required for our operations, it used to be stowed on aft wall in wheelhouse
Charts corrected for edition 24 + 25 of note dredging operations coming up with dredge Brisbane, Pacific Titan and Norfolk and some depth changes east of north point
If the security pass has been used to access the MOT for refilling water bottles or whatever, mot security officer Gordon has requested that once you head back to the boat and swipe to go through, once we go through , could we please swipe it once more and spin the turnstile, as it registers a visitor is still on the island if we don't do it as requested
* 12/12/25 Sean England supplied a pack of electrolyte ice blocks that are in the freezer , help yourself, if you run out ask the offfice for some more π
boat runs well after recent slipping and hope all goes well , bye for now , merry Xmas and happy new year to allπ
Oh yeah, i forgot , Parangool crew are supposed to wash down mot, at intervals im not sure of, i sent email requesting laminated copy of what is expected, i haven't hosed mot during my days served, coal dust comes with northerly east breeze, so hose off required sooner rather than later. All apologies π€«
