I Have A Ship

No, I don't own a ship, but I've found out what ship I will be joining for the next three months.  I don't know what day I will join it yet, but my leaving here is imminent.

The ship is the Andrea Anon.  It's 108.2m long, has a 2800kW B&W 2 Stroke Slow Speed  engine, and was built in 2006 .  As far as I'm aware it cruises France and Spain and I will be flying out there to join. 

If you want to see where I am at any moment during the following months then there will be a link on the blog that will lead you to marine traffic - this shows where the ship was last.  When I last checked it was near Biscay!

Exams!

Well, after all the excitement of the short courses, we had a week of exams.  We had four exams in total - one each day from Monday to Thursday.  We had Marine Legislation, Thermodynamics, Mechanics, and Engineering Drawing.

They weren't as exciting as the short courses, but I think they all went well so I hope for good results.  I won't actually them all out until September or October...
