A 4 day round trip to Ireland, onboard a tall ship crewed by teenagers? What could possibly go wrong!
From left to right: me with an Ikegami C + separate BetaCam recorder (groan), fellow course members Tom Waller, Maxine Collins and Zoe Mogridge - a true multi-skilled bunch of pro's and just as well because when the sea sickness kicked in....
Plymouth I think....
Me ans Zoe waiting to board
The Winston Churchill Tall ship
Some of the young crew - they were a lot of fun
Zoe and Maxine, clearly seasoned sailors.
Readying to depart.
The crew enjoyed helping out with all the different jobs we had to do.
You notice the crew had harnesses but we didn't? It'll be fine...
3 point lighting, no problem with compact HMI lamps. Quite the thing before LED's.
For some reason, I spent a lot of time down here...
...charging old NP1 batteries at the end of their useful life!
Graveyard shift was hard work....
Our Rushes viewing theatre. My bunk basically.
Arrived in Ireland!
Zoe's legendary bobble hat was a constant talking point.
I should point out that was my pint before she nicked it. Teenagers....
