The view from my "office"

[Port Power]

Anchored at Puerto Williams because the sister “office” is at the dock, having embarked guests during the afternoon. Silver Cloud departs tonight and we take its place.

Chilean immigration officials have come aboard to stamp our passports. I must have been the only passenger watching, and received a wave.

I’m hoping this vessel, stationary and very close, is the refuelling vessel. Otherwise we may have to start repelling pirates.



Closer





Contact!



Very busy, as we slowly drifted downstream together

Bunker vessel, commonly referred to as the bunker barge. The large floating fenders are called Yokohamas.

I’ve seen many a bunkering over the years, but never realised there was an actual name for the bumpers. I even saw new ones being delivered to the dock in Broome earlier this year. These look like new tyres too, not used tyres as I would have expected.

That's a helluva tide at Broome.

Thanks @Steady. My distance vision isn’t great so I wasn’t sure at first.

Its busy off li’l Puerto Williams tonight.

We in the Silver Wind just been refueled; Silver Cloud just departing; L’Austral waiting to be bunkered. Couple of tugs keeping order.





Now we are manoeuvring to dock. Disembarkation at 6:20 for us in the morning

Visiting daughter and grandson Flyfrequently enjoying a walk along the beach.
Such a beautiful day and hardly a soul here - all at the bay beaches or stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on Peninsula Link!

Off to a new office tomorrow then?

Back to the sumptuous Mandarin Oriental Santiago today on the charter “office”, and then QF28 to SYD on Sunday. And then finally back to the “home office” after being away for two months.

 

[Flashback]

The view from my LGW office going to BGI, first flight of the year, first longhaul in Y in a very long time. However, it's a 100% Y flight so I'm still flying the top cabin When everyone else is in the same boat I don't care so much, no pun intended.... ah, the things you do to add 5 countries to the list in a week!

Our first Bangkok office faces west which means sunsets.

Still on the tarmac, sitting on the plane. Very, very warm. UK261 compensation has kicked in at least.... doesn't look like we are going anywhere any time soon so hopefully we can get off the plane.

OT, how do you go about making a claim for UK261?

I was there last week, it was amazing.

Despite @Hvr’s recommendation when we caught up for evening drinks at Millenium Hilton, I didn’t end up visiting this mall. I somehow caught the Bangkok belly (if there’s such a thing) and couldn’t even enjoy the yummy food I was so looking forward to. The night views from Sky bar at Millenium was quite enjoyable though and prime spot for the NYE countdown from the hotel
