When I try to memorize

lakeview apartments columbus ne the events from the time I was on board the MT Thorshov, there is not much I remember. While memories of Thor Holm are very many, so memories of Thorshov lakeview apartments columbus ne consists only of small glimpse.
When evening came, I was alone in the radio room and looked forward to trying all the modern equipment, but I had to wait since we still lay under the land, so I lay at night without having tried anything other than the recipients.
Middle of the night I woke up to the fact that the boat vibrated. This I had never experienced lakeview apartments columbus ne before, so I got dressed and went up on the bridge where the activity lakeview apartments columbus ne was great. We were about to leave Ras Tanura which was the name of the terminal, and the view from up there, six floors above the deck was amazing.
After a while I went down to the radio room that was next door to my cabin and started up the transmitter. Now I got the opportunity lakeview apartments columbus ne to try out the equipment. This was fun and it was light in the morning I had tried everything. I had listened in Rogaland Radio that sent the list of boats that they have telegrams to and heard that there was a telegram to us. I had contacted them, taken in the telegrams and delivered them to the addressees on board.
Now it was breakfast, and I went down the stairs to the floor where we had booth. I smelled long before lakeview apartments columbus ne I was there, especially the smell of bacon. lakeview apartments columbus ne The table was already half full when I came in, so I got greeted them I had met the day before and was referred to the short end of the table up to the bulkhead.
We were thirty crew members on board in four shows, so we had plenty of space and was operated by two exhibition and cabin girls as well as steward and two cooks. lakeview apartments columbus ne There was no skimping on either the food or the service even though I did not own boy so I carried on Thor Holm, but it was good to be able to decide what I should wear my clothes. lakeview apartments

columbus ne There I could neither aboard Thor Holm where my Boy was offended if I would have at something else than what he made or the fifteen months in the navy where the defense decided that we should lakeview apartments columbus ne have uniforms.
The daily "Press" was the most important, I hear. It was the only news we received from Norway. They came in the form of maternal signals from Rogaland Radio and filled an A4 sheet that I multiplied

the spritduplikatoren so that each booth had two sheets each. The lounge was the skipper, chief mate and chief engineer each. They were the magistrate on board, so.
Telephone conversations with them at home was also very important, I hear. Most home did not have private lakeview apartments columbus ne telephones, so days were often long when I got a message from Rogaland Radio that they had a telephone booking to us or when the board would call home. There was usually a two or three hours before I had established telephone connection with Rogaland Radio, but both we and them at home was used to waiting for these calls.

Most people were on board for almost two years before they hit the family again, so to speak to their loved ones was very important for the individual's lakeview apartments columbus ne peace of mind. Worse, there were those times when the calls concerned the deaths of close family or friends back home. While the home could get comfort from family and friends, only colleagues on board who could contribute to the sailor.
Especially I remember he was told of a brother who died by his own hand. From the phone box I heard a howl and called the captain who served as counselor and whiskey pours. This was a conventional way to help.
The vibration of the building I did not. On board the Thor Holm where I stayed lakeview apartments columbus ne in the middle of the ship was completely silent since the computer was behind, but here aboard Thorshov which was called a breech-loader, transmitted vibration from the engine room way up the building, and inside the bulkhead behind the bunk mi was probably a tube that was not properly fixed.
In her spare time on board was the outdoor swimming pool in use as long as we had good weather. The pool was about four feet wide, six feet long and two feet deep and very important when we arranged

baptism for those who have not passed linna (Equator) earlier. lakeview apartments columbus ne
On one of the round trips between Europe and the Persian Gulf we had one of Sandefjord former mayors with us. He was seventy years in 1969 and retired, and in seventy birthday present lakeview apartments columbus ne he got a round-trip travel between Europe and the Persian Gulf by the son who was the CEO of the company. Line Baptism that we arranged with him on board the naming ceremony lakeview apartments columbus ne of the many that I remember best. He would be involved in everything, and culminating ceremony for his part in that he was thrown into the pool by two strong guys. One held his arms while the other remained in the feet and swung him back and forth until he landed in the water, while the skipper remained anxious in the background.
Frithjof Boe as seventy year old named, was also a bit of a rogue and suggested that we arrange shipping revue. The scene was made using portierestoff the opening between the officer and the officers' mess hall living. All were an
