Madras

Written by on Tuesday, June 2, 1970

Never seen so much sh**t in all my life! Just to get 2 land rovers aboard a boat, even today we have to get more signatures on more pieces of paper, it really is incredible that a port the size of this is being run by so many dimwitted numbskulls. Originally they said it was sailing at 6am then 12pm now its in the morning, And we could load at 10am then 12pm then 4pm 6pm and now its 10.30pm We’ve been here all day on board the so called “STATE OF MADRAS” apt name I think. Been trying to get loaded but its useless nobody knows what to do. There’s a yank here been waiting for 1 month to get his motorbike “off” the boat. The sailing date is now the 4th, were not banking on it! One man told us to bring it back Thursday another said they wont load Thursday, we’ll break I think !!!!

The aptly named “State of Madras” previously named Jaljawaha scrapped in 1973
