dayrate Posted April 21, 2008 #566 Share Posted April 21, 2008 FWIW - Indy comes out in May so Zini will be on until middle of June (maybe end of June). Then Capt Strazicic (Carol's Teo) takes over for a 10-14 wk rotation. That would put the next switch at around the end of Sept. So by the beginning of October, Capt Arnolf Remo should be onboard till close to the end of the year. They may switch again just before Christmas. So Capt Teo would be on at the beginning of 2009. Captain Strazicic is in command now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Rose Posted April 21, 2008 #567 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Thank you for that. Sadly, I cannot get there for the weekend, but I will be there around 0930 on Friday. I will go to the top of the West Quay car park which is where I stood when the Freedom and the Liberty came in. Great place for pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bild Em Bigger Posted April 21, 2008 #568 Share Posted April 21, 2008 When did capt Zini get off? and when is he back on again? he spent all that time getting her ready and then will not be there for her naming, that seems a little odd :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
