I only served 1 contract on the Faith, this is my 2nd contract already on her sistership, the Spirit.


On the picture we were sailing in the Finnish archipelago, Captain's last port of call before his retirement. We decorated the vessel with the flags. After the Captain walked off the gangway we blasted the ship's horn untill the taxi drove away!

Oh, and the Captain made it for a full 6 weeks at home. He signed on again a few days ago  :doh:

Hi Ballast,
It is good to hear that you are aboard such a happy ship. That makes the job really worthwhile I am sure. I am always impressed with the paintwork on Dutch Spirit, it seems to be kept in excellent condition. It shows the pride you and the crew have in your ship.

They'll have been in that area - although you can only get at the sea-level near the lighthouse - I used to be able to get at the base of the light itself which was a good spot but it was sealed off many years ago... :(
