Maybe he's at sea... I wouldn't be updating PH on the bosses satellite internet! They might even be sailing dark if he's popped up on a sanctions list and is on route to Male!

Look out for any coded distress call if OP posts again. Silence is ominous, so hope all are safe.

I saw this, and thought of the OP.

Seychelles or Siberia?

Perhaps he was P&O and signed the NDA.

Still no OP. I was really enjoying this thread, hope he is okay.

Seems the ‘net’ has widened. Hope he’s ok - but I’m sure he is, just out of the loop for the moment.

Yeah, for sure. He'll definitely put a coded distress message on PH if in imminent danger.

That's what any sensible person would do.

But what is the code and does it involve that pistonheads idiom, frozen sausages?

Expect OP to regale us with that time he dominated the bridge, if posting under duress.

I wonder if OP has swapped the Seychelles for scenic Vladivostok (hope he packed some extra layers!)......

Imagine living in abject poverty and seeing some of these $500m+ boats sailing in with your fellow comrades on it.

I’m in English Harbour Antigua at the moment. The classic yacht regatta is happening and there are 15 to 20 super yachts moored up. Really lovely things.

At the popular harbour restaurant last night, I saw 7 to 8 very decent looking lads sitting around their dinner table in deep discussion with serious and worried expressions.

It could be that the OP has other things occupying his mind at the moment.

Rent boys worried their sugar daddies have to cut back on expenses?

If OP posts he is ordering egg, egg, egg, sausage, sausage, sausage, egg, egg, egg for breakfast, we know he is in trouble.

The reality is probably that the owner, his employer has told staff that the use of any social media is now forbidden, and anyone caught posting any information will be dismissed.

Given the fact that there may quite a few yacht crews looking for work, and the newly created vacancies at P&O won't pay anyone's bills, it would be prudent for him to keep shtum and ride it out.
