Lois, Esther and I paid a visit to the Logos II 'Lineup' team. Adele from Cameroon, Greg from South Africa and Anna from Germany are based in Falmouth for a couple of months preparing for the visit of the mission ship LogosII.
We arrived just in time for a cream tea. Someone had provided clotted cream to help them with cultural adaptation to Cornish ways (ie cream on top of the jam as opposed to jam on top of the the cream, in Devon). While we are about it the great debate on "I GO" was whether Pasties originate from Devon or Cornwall - come on all you bloggers let's have a real debate!!
Meanwhile, Adele has agreed to ask the Port Operations Manager if we can have a pontoon berth in the docks next to Logos II for "Polbream", out next charter yacht. Dave Thomas, Chief Engineer on Logos II has arranged for us to take different groups from the ship out for day sail training. One day will be for Deck and Engine Officers, the next for Deck and Engine Ratings and the next for the Intensive Training Team (bit like a turbo charged DTS for those who know what that is).
The Ship is in Falmouth at County Wharf, next to the Maritime Museum from 5-18 June and is open to the public for free visits every day. More details at www.omships.org
She is also going to be at Portland from 27 June to 9th July.
Lois and I took a stack of posters and programmes to distribute in Mylor and at Falmouth Marina. It felt like being back on the Line Up team again in the 1970's.
