sPENT 6 MONTHS ON MV PLATIDIA FINALLY LEAVING THE SHIP IN PANAMA DUE TO AN INJURY TO MY HAND. IT WAS A RELIEF TO LEAVE THE SHIP, AS MOST OF THE CREW WERE FROM SOUTH SHIELDS, AND BEING A LONDONER I COULD BARELY UNDERSTAND A WORD THEY SAID. WE SAILED UP AND DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD OF THE USA WITH BITUMEN PICKED UP IN CURACAO,SO I SPENT A GOOD DEAL OF MY SHORE TIME AT HAPPY VALLEY.
