Gets onboard MV Valdivia, at about 10.30 in the morning.
I was welcomed by my boss, in the engine room.
Total twunt of a man.
I'm no normally so blunt, honest.
I then finds oot that my 2ndEng was the chief engineer, but the long term chief was on board, so he had to do a shift and watch pattern with work. Hence the twunt mood.
"if you work with me I'll expect you, being HND qualified, to know what every system is, by end of the week."
This, qualification, placed an expectation on me. Other Cadets would ask me for my opinion prior to seeing the 2nd Engineer.
Pipe blocked up.... Me speaks-
"If we were to do this", Chief(even though he was a 2nd
"if I wanted your opinion I'd ask an actual Engineer not a cadet.
He was furious n this made me and other cadets deleriously happy.
(in my head.. "its no ma fault yir demoted, till the Big Chief goes home")
When a vessel comes into any port its a major job, as shutdown machinery is repaired.
Midnight apparently we'd left for the Panama Canal..
