We meet someone and as humans it’s in our nature to know the person next to us. You can actually figure out a lot of things from their talks, their ways, their presentation and most importantly their attitude.

Most of us are either sailors or their spouses or aspirants or relatives or friends but above all we are a family. And as family members we know each others quite well. Sometimes annoying, sometime cute, careful sometime worried over small things like why the gas cylinder knob was not shut? This might not be common for most but it’s common among them.

Kudos to the work culture on-board, sailors will always think from the safety point of view, analyzing the potential unsafe environment and taking measures. That was the reason he was worried over the gas knob.. 😉

POOR IN SAVINGS

This is the thing most parents and spouses are worried about a lot 😀 well respected all, Consider this. They are in the middle of nowhere for almost 4-9 months for the luxury they visualized for them and their loved ones, they are sacrificing their cosy times with better-halves, beer pints with best buddies, silly cute jokes of younger siblings. You really think they will think twice before spending for your smiles…? We love our family

VACATION IS IN VEIN

Hufffff, finally sign off and am home, sleep sleep and sleep. Getaway, with family. Home. Sleep sleep and sleep. Getaway with friends. Home. Sleep sleep and sleep. Back on ship. 😀 After soul tiring tenure on-board all we want is peace and love nothing more nothing less.
