My first vessel was a sailing training ship "Druzhba".
She was rebuilt to transport passengers as some luxury yachts do.
But the investors didn't work hard enough to bring her incto full operational service.
So there she stayed in the port rusting. It is a shame because that ships crossed Oceans in the past.
Eventually Academy started to send cadets on so called ship board training.
The people were trained to chip of old paint, scratch of dark wood and do the cleaning job.
I joined the group of about 30 cadets in mid June and spent two and half months there. Monday til Friday, eight til noon. It was not the best thing You can do in Odessa durinng summer time. But it was just half of the day.
Management even told us that ship was scheduled for sailing in mid August to encourage our free of charge work. But it had never happened.
There were other groups later. And they went out and spent time in rough Black Sea weather.
