Arne,

another good shot of the Kanal/locks.

Do you work on the kanal, are you one of the pilots?

Mfg Frank.

Not my favourite ships the Vietnamese jobs. If you ever have to work onboard for any length of time take your own sandwiches......and a flask of Tea[=D] Think those hatch cover leading edges may need some attention soon.

Hello Frank,
yes, I work at the Kiel canal. I'm not a pilot. My employer is the "Verein der Kanalsteurer, Kiel"/ Helmsmens Assosiation of Kiel canal. Please have a look at this link: http://www.kanalsteurer.de/verein/index_en.html

That's right. There's nothing to addB\)!!!

Arne,

thanks for the interesting link.

I first sailed through the Kanal in 1967 while I was onboard the M/S Else Reith (Orion Schiffahrts Ges), I was onboard for about 11 months and we did a few transits.
