My Stevedore Job.

[Des]

Hey hey,

 

I thought some of you might find these a bit interesting, This is where i work on weekends.

 

Thats my best mate Jamie with his arms up, See the poxy blow up life jackets we must wear, There has been some very funny jokes pulled with these blow up jackets.

 

We unload and load the passenger bags and food etc.

 

Passengers walk along here to the ship, the air bridge is worth big $ as its all automatic.

Preping the dock.

Passengers walk along here to the air bridge but I'm not sure whats in that top floor of the building ?

Calm in the we hours of the morning.

Wish i could just sit here with my V and watch the sunrise for once instead of preping the dock.

Poxy life jackets.

P&O ship

turbualnt water from the engines

Tie up ropes.

The ship has docked

A tiny but very powerfull boat giving the fella's a hand.

These ropes are thicker than most peoples arms which = heavy bastards.

 

:P

We do the Pacific Star and a few others but mostly the Pacific Star, We get the QEII when its around this side of the world and thats a HUGE ship.

 

Some times i start at 6 and finish unloading at about 8am - 8:30am, Usually head down to the servo for some food, Come back at 10am load up the ship till 1:30pm then let the ship go and watch it float out to sea well to the gateway anyway.

 

Most of the male workers in the building are spanish or italian or from around those parts and don't speak english very well so when we ask how many bags are left we get jibberish.

NIce pics Des, sure it would keep you busy at those crazy hours!

[Des]

Unloading the the bags is non stop from 6 am to about 8. People try and bring scissors, knifes and stuff like that on board and that takes up so much time from loading up the ship.

 

Every now and then we pick up small bags and they are vibrating ;)

[JiP]

Hope they sell batteries on board. ;)

[flat out]

haha do you go threw through there bags?.

 

I'm in the market for some leather nipp;e nipple tassles tassels and a whip :hmm:

No we don't go through there bags we would lose our jobs instantly if we tried plus its wrong

[camerondownunder88]
