If it happens again, that's me finished with blogs.

Slapper's 50th Birthday Party
Slapper is 50 this year. Party on 13th-14th June at Twin Lakes, Horncastle (venue for last year's Slappers 'n' Trollops Rally and a few rock nights and other parties). Free Camping.
Come and party - let Slapper or Paul the Stall know if you are coming, so we can order enough draught Hobgoblin

Recovering a Gravity Corer after it's journey to the seabed. A length of pipe, containing a plastic tube (liner), with a heavy weight (bomb) on top is lowered at 80metres per second to just above the seabed (this cruise up to 5000m deep). There it is stopped, before it is allowed to punch into the seabed and, hopefully, come back out full of lovely sand and mud.

Not a simulator - not a game. This is the view from behind the console. Showing the conning screen, one of the radar screens and the cctv monitor. And everything is based on a certain operating system (clue is the framed items above the console)

Taken from the deck of a rolling ship, during a force 8; camera was hand-held. It was just before sunset - the sky is dark because I reduced the exposure to bring out more detail on the surface.
This new ship has so many alarms - it's a wonder the "spy in the cab" microphones can hear us mere humans over the never ending cacophony of bells, whistles and hooters, augmented by the occasional rattle of the many printers, just to remind us that the "paperless" bridge is here to stay.
Rudyard Kipling put it quite eloquently many moons ago:
"The new ship here is fitted according to the reported increase of knowledge among mankind. Namely, she is cumbered end to end, with bells and trumpets and clock and wires, it has been told to me, can call voices out of the air of the waters to con the ship while her crew sleep. But sleep thou lightly. It has not yet been told to me that the Sea has ceased to be the Sea."
