Man Overboard! (not really)

After Burma, we had two days to get to India, which wasn’t very far away. For most if it we were cruising at ten knots. I guess the captain got bored, because twice in one day they threw a dummy overboard and practiced retrieving it. The dummy had a life ring around it and was complete with a moustache!

We had a brief warning of a drill over the speakers and then they cranked the wheel. When they do that the ship really leans, and people were falling all over the place. The Explorer can pull some serious G’s!
