For the last three odd years I've been sitting in a more or less the same place. After arriving in Brisbane, Australia under Alex Dorsey late in 2007, then landing in Adelaide, Australia after a long and bumpy road on a big trailer I have been assigned my new captain, Wojtek Lukaszewicz.
He's been making sure I'm well looked after but I'm itching to get moving. I've overheard him mentioning "next year". Well, that's over 6 months away or can be 18 months and still be the next year. I'll be much happier when I hear a date, like "15 March 2012" or "before end of June 2012"...
The captain often talks about the main engine transplant. Now that sounds exciting but may cause further delays. I don't care where we go, I just want out of this boring day outings, over and over the same route, boooriiiing... and even so my master manages to run me aground quite often. It doesn't hurt here as the bottoms are usually mud or sand but when we take on coral coast he'd better be more careful about soundings and navigation in general. I'm shivering just thinking about it...
Anyway, that's enough to begin with. Ahhh... here's a link to some pics of the little surgeries I have received in the last 3 and a half years.
