Hi all,

Been struggling with Engineer cover for one of my tall ships of late. Usual agencies failed, I'd rather not drag in one of my engineers from some much needed leave (and really annoying his wife & kids!) until I've tried all avenues, so PH to the rescue perhaps...

It's onboard the sail training vessel STS LORD NELSON. Joining in Poole on 30th April, departing Weymouth 9th May. It's for a couple of day sails and then a few days alongside in Poole, then a 4 day voyage.

Being a tightarse charity, the pay is pretty bloody rubbish compared to what you guys can earn in the commercial world, but sail training is great fun and a very rewarding experience (plus we tie up next to the boozer instead of miles away in a grotty dock wink).

With very diddy engines (343kW) it doesn't need to be an unlimited Chief, any Chief Eng endorsement will do, as will a SMEOL or MEOL. I currently have another PHer on as 2nd Eng.

More info on the ships and the work of the charity can be found at www.jst.org.uk or ask away.

So come on PH - you always come up trumps, can you bail me out?
