Yeah, I've seen some of those sites, I'm in a facebook group too.

Next step is probably to pass my YM practical - will have to see if I can get enough hours logged to do offshore, otherwise will have to do coastal.

Also just downloading the forms to get HGV (C+E) provisional driving license - reckon being able to drive articulated lorries is a good thing, too.
Nice one
