    On our way to Gothenburg we held an oil spill drill and a collision drill. We received order to load fuel oil in Gothenburg to Norrköping after discharging in Gothenburg. They don't have any crude oil for us in Liepaja so we take this voyage before going back to Liepaja.

    We had very nice weather and we entered Drogden just before midnight on Wednesday. After passing Drogden I told Captain that I should go down and update my web page.

    I don't know if it's better
    - OK, I come to your cabin, he said.
    He wanted to see my " FTP program " in action.
    There was no net work coverage so we could not update the page. We had a look at my page on the computer.
    - Hmm, can't you change my photo for a better one, he asked.
    He took a picture himself and asked me to replace the other one. Well, I keep the old one and I put the one he took by himself so you can compare.

    Just after he left my cabin I got network coverage so I could update my page and send e-mail to Sue. Then it was nap time.

    We arrived to Gothenburg pilot 0950 Thursday 20th of February. On the way to jetty 800 in Torshamnen we passed a ship that had ran aground the day before.
