Gibraltar & Crew Change

Yesterday left the anchorage and came alongside. Doing crew change and other services to be carried out for a couple of days. Today "my crew" will come onboard, I came out earlier since my reliever needed to go home. Paint job planned for this morning postponed since dense fog(bulkheads wet).
Painting now on going, swinging tomorrow for opposit side painting. Left the port again Fri July 6th, over to the East side of the Rock and dropped anchor, awaiting orders.

Laemnade ankar platsen igaar och kom in till kaj i Gibraltar. Skall besaettningsbyta och goera en del service paa skutan i naagra dagar. Idag kom "min besaettning" ombord, jag kom ut lite tidigare eftersom min avloesare var tvungen att aaka hem. Maalar jobbet som skulle starta i morse fick skjutas upp eftersom det var taet dimma(Vaat plaat). Nu aer vi snart halvaegs med maalandet, i morgon swingar vi runt skutan foer att ta andra sidan. Laemnade hamnen igen Fredagen den 6:e. Nu ute paa Oestra sidan om klippan till ankars. Invaentar order.
