I've got my new orders in... I'm on the Lord Nelson tall ship for 2 months around the Canary Islands.
Not bad eh?

The good side is I'm getting more sea time, I'm not sitting at home and I could get some really nice stamps. :D
The down side is that 2 months of learning ropes, sails and rigging is not going to mean anything to me. :(

Plus I have stuff I need to do for my training book and I'm not going to get much of that done :(

But still, life is a bitch. :)

Good luck, Tzipi. I spent 26 years at sea. It's a good life, most of the time.

If this is your ship, she's a beauty.
