Dry Dock. Ready to go out. Lot of fun, vessel with no main engines. Mess and weather was bad to. Lucky me, my wife is always with me. Anyway I am back Babalous. Regards

Suhi dok. Spremni za plovidbu. Prepuno zabave, brod bez glavnog pogona. Nered a i vrijeme nije bilo dobro. Sreca, moja supruga je uvik uza' me. Kako bilo vratio sam se Babaluji. Pozdrav

Today I got some photos. It is a big shame. Denmark, Croatia, Iraq, Somalia make no differance. How to explain this to my kids? Let's have something to say about together.

Danas sam primio nekoliko fotografija. Velika sramota. Danska, Irak, Hrvatska, Somalija nema velike razlike.Kako cu ovo objasniti svojoj djeci? Idemo konacno zajedno nesto kazati sto mislimo.

Wheelhouse. One part of bridge. Stil missing Chartroom and bridge wings on photo . You will find very many different electronical aids there. But first and foremost Wheel of Rudder and Engine controls. Master with assistance of the officers and crew is ensuring safe handling of the ladies.
Kormilarnica. Jedan dio Navigacijskog mosta. Na slici nedostaju jos Soba sa Navigacijskim kartama i Krila mosta. Tu se moze vidjeti vrlo mnogo elektronskih pomagala. Ali kao najvazniji Kormolo i Kontrole stroja. Zapovjednik uz pomoc casnika i posade osigurava sigurno upravljanje brodovima.

ECR - Engine control room. Heart of the ship. Engine division with Chief engineer control every single machinery around vessel. Total of sixty crew is needed to operate it.
KCS. Kontrolni centar strojarnice. Srce je broda. Divizija stroja sa Upraviteljem stroja kontrolira i upravlja sa svim strojevima na brodu. Ukupno sezdeset clanova stroja je potrebno za upravljati njim.

Some Enviromental issue.
Look at this. Psyttaleia, small island 0.4 km2 in front of Piraeus. The island houses the largest sewage treatment plant in Europe. Pitty there is none at Adriatic and rest of the Med.

Pogledajte ovo. Psyttaleia, mali otok od 0.4 km2 pored Pireja. Na otoku je smjestena najvece postrojenje za preradu otpadnih voda u Europi. Steta sto nema nijedne na Jadranu i u Mediteranu.

That's it. Last call Istanbul. Season is over. Saint Nicola day and vessel is going to be laid up. Lot's of time to get her ready for next season. Happy holiday dear sailors whereever you are!!!!

To bi bilo sve. Zadnja luka Istanbul. Sezona je zavrsila. Na praznik Svetog Nikole brod se ostavlja u raspremi. Puno vremena da se spremi za slijedecu sezonu. Sretan vam praznik ma gdje god bili dragi mornari!!!!

This post is a tribute to my love ones. My Dad and me Mum. My first journey by ships were with them. Brindisi, La valletta, Alger, Oran, Casablanca, Valencia, Venecia, Trieste and many more. Many I do not remember any more. I was very little at that time. It was a great time, unforgetable.

Ovu stranicu posvecujem dvoje dragih ljudi. Mom Tati i Mami. Moje prvo putovanje brodom bilo je sa njima. Brindisi, Valeta, Alzir, Oran, Kazablanka, Venecija, Trst i jos puno drugih. Mnogih se ne sijecam jer sam bio puno mali. Bilo mi je stvarno lijepo, nezaboravno.
