One night in Hotel Mumbai, and then down to the agents, port
immigration and customs before boarding the supply vessel that took me out to
the field. Trip should have taken 14 hours, took nearly 24 hours due to bad
weather and rough seas. A humbling, character building experience that made me
appreciate my working place much more. No shadow on the supply boat crew who
performed very well under the circumstances, very kind, polite and service
minded. Felt most sorry for the Cook who tried to cater for me while almost
impossible to stand up without holding on to something . But of course Most grateful and proud of my “Huginauts”
that once again proved their excellence under challenging conditions and
performed the perfect and safe mission of bringing their commander back to the
mother ship.
Ombord paa Hugin igen.
En Hotellnatt I Bombay. Foeljande dag, moete paa agent
kontoret, besoek paa hamnmyndighetens immigration och tull kontor, innan jag
bordade Supply baaten foer resan ut till Hugin paa Mumbai high. En resa som
skulle tagit 14 timmar tog naestan 24, p.g.a daaligt vaeder (Rock and Roll).
En oedmjukt karaktaersbyggande erfarenhet vilken fick mig
att uppskatta min arbetsplats mera. Ingen skugga paa supply baats besaettningen
vilken utfoerde uppgiften mycket vael under de raadande omstaendigheterna. De
var alla mycket vaenliga, artiga och service inriktade. Mest synd var det om kocken
som verkligen foersoekte laga mat aat mig, near ingen kunde staa upp utan att
haalla I sig. Men saa klart mest stolt och tacksam aer jag foerstaass oever
mina Huginauter, vilka aennu en gaang visade sin skicklighet under kraevande
foerhaallanden och utfoerde ett perfekt och saekert uppdrag I att aaterboerda
deras befaelhavare till moderskeppet.
