My brother is a Daughter Craft Coxswain/Able Bodied Seaman based on a on a lifeboat hospital ship (that's my term for it). The Covid-19 escalation and global lockdowns all happened a good while after he had originally set sail. The crew are all fine and are now half way through their second stint, in a row, offshore, after being asked to stay on. Huge respect for everyone aboard the ship. He just sent these photos. The first is the biggest floating crane in the world, which came by earlier. The second shows the crane lining up with an oil platform that, itself, holds up to 400 people over five stories. This thing is big. He described it as being as big as was our high school!
