Ship visit with David the other day. We chatted with the deck cadet and ended up watching his cat videos. Much fun they were too.

On Friday some of our team took a trip from Bridlington to Bempton Cliffs onboard the Yorkshire Belle. We had a grand day out. Many thanks to the Benefactor Trust who funded the trip.

We hosted a seafarers barbecue at St John’s in Goole. From the Goole Team, Alex went ship visiting with the invitations then Frankie did the barbecue and played basketball. Great to see crew from visiting ships Humber Runner and Annes.

Ship visiting in Grimsby. This second officer was about to go home for his wedding. Looks kinda pleased with himself.

We visited the Arklow Moor in Hull. As we were chatting we realised one of the crew was featured in the Hull Port Leaflet. Much excitement all round-felt like we were meeting a celebrity.

Watching the flowers grow at Groveport Seafarer Centre. The place is buzzing!

We took these three Indian crew shopping in Immingham. When we went to change money at the post office it turned out the teller was Indian and spoke Hindi. Made their day.

This was our first visit to the Stena Forerunner in Immingham. Such an occasion needed a full tour of the engineroom. Here is David with two of the engineering team.

Ship visiting in Hull docks again today. Here is Lisa with 2nd Officer Lee, who gave us a great welcome.

The Vanquish is back in Hull. After a long break, we were pleased to welcome the ship and crew to the Hull Container Terminal. This is the cook who knows a thing or two about strong coffee.

We planted out the raised beds at Groveport today. Thanks to Tyler and especially to Stephen and Jayne.

Met Herman the other day. He is a chief officer and has been working at ports across the Humber for years. He seems to know everyone and they know him. He is one of those people who is always pleased to see you.

We visited Sheppard Nursery just outside Hull on the last day of their sale. We got a load of bedding plants for the Groveport Seafarer centre planters for very little money. Look out for pics of the results soon.

We met this Filipino seafarer at the Immingham Centre. He went to sea in order to see the world. Amazingly he was keeping that dream alive and getting ashore in almost every country he visited.

Ship visiting in Hull with Lisa. Not shown here is the cloudless blue sky and the glorious sunshine which welcomed these seafarers.

Many thanks to South Shields volunteer Ian, who drove all the way to Hull Seafarer centre with a van load of hats. We also had a quick look around Hull and stopped for lunch, of course.

Here we are with the crew of the Noren in Hull. After a few moments of sorting out hair styles we were ready for the photo.

The MiFi units are still proving popular. This crew only handed it back reluctantly as they were enjoying it so much. Well, they were leaving port and we wanted it for the next ship. @FlyingAngelNews @DraxPowerLtd

Today was Spring Clean time at Groveport seafarer centre. Thanks to the team of, from right, Jayne, Stephen, Tyler, Lisa and David who deep cleaned inside and out. It looks great.

Today we were packing gifts for Seafarers at Central Methodist Church in Goole. A good days work from the team. Thanks for your efforts, everyone.
