Young Buna in the Bahamas

Jimbuna · 12-20-15, 08:49 AM

Young Buna was offered extended leave with pay rather than rejoin his ship on 6th December but rather than spend Xmas at home with his family he decided to return to his ship, a decision I can understand because he needs twelve months sea time in before he can sit his Masters.

What I didn't know was the fact that two days after he joined his ship she went into dry dock (counts toward sea time) in the Bahamas so he is honest in admitting he is now a tad bored and wondering if he made the correct decision.

You made your bed son so you will now have to lie in it (praying the wife doesn't see this post).

I'll post a few pictures in a little while.

Does the Bahama layover count as sea time?

Why dry dock in the Bahamas? Less expensive?

The sun dries it off faster. And dries the new paint faster too.

Jim's son just repainted where he's pointing to on the hull. That was the main reason they were in dry dock. The helmsman scraped a barnacle when they stopped in port for lunch last week.
