Company Magazine for the Odfjell Group - March 2005

muscles”.
During port stays we sometimes have
the opportunity to go ashore, but as we
mostly are berthed far away from the
city centres we feel lucky if even
finding a little local shop. The days
when the sailor could enjoy his landleave
with a beer in one hand and a girl
on each knee are long gone... When
another Odfjell ship is near to us in
port, some crewmembers take the
opportunity to visit to exchange experiences
as well as movies. Occasionally
crewmembers having sailed together in
the past meet, and many histories and
memories are brought up.
