MV Atlantic Tiger

This morning I visited the MV Atlantic Tiger. When I met the cook he immediately started talking about bread, big tomatoes and cucumbers. I had been on this ship twice before, but I did not recognize him. "You are getting old" he said!

The port of destination for the MV Atlantic Tiger will be Ijmuiden, The Netherlands. Which means fifty days at sea. I promised I would supply the cook with lots of veggies and some clothing. They asked for clothing because when they reach Cape Horn, (the most southern point of South America) where it is winter now, they will experience very cold temperatures and extreme weather.

The two men in the picture are captains. How can there be two captains on one ship? It just happens that one captain just signed on and the other will be flying home tomorrow to the Philippines. They invited me to have lunch with them. For me an opportunity to take a picture of 'two captains' doesn't happen every day. Are you curious which captain will go home? It is the one on the right!.......... He did most of the talking during lunch!

I wish both captains God's protection, at sea and in the air.
