Bit of an odd one today. We had a phone call phone the office saying that our ships were being targeted by terrorists and that the 'Tune in particular was to be targeted. Of course we all mustered and went to our Security stations. First we checked our cabins in pairs. Nobody was hiding in my wardrobe, nor under my quilt. There was no bomb in my shampoo bottle nor down my toilet. No suspicious devices to be found in Steve's cabin either, despite rigourously searching his laundry basket which would seem an obvious place for something to go boom.

Then myself and Franck searched the instrument room and under the floor tiles. I got to go through all the chief nav and obbies' drawers. Found the blank DVDs and CDs. Franck said we shouldn't really be going through these drawers! We're looking for bombs Franck. Just cos they have "classified material" in them doesn't mean there might not be a bomb there. Jeez. However no stowaways, IRA separatists, UDA in-fighters, white supremacists, little Osamas or black packages with wires and clocks going tick-tick-tick.

Over the radio it was announced that they had cordoned off the portside liferaft. Suspicious device found. Hmmmm. Then they found another in the steering gear compartment (good place for a bomb I thought) and the nasty terrorist, complete with 2 plaits and a bandana around her face to disguise her. Very dangerous characters these Canadian bridge cadets. Don't know what their problem is. Maybe she's a Quebecois separatist. Then we all went to the bridge for the debrief. Brilliant. Only one wee problem.

There was ANOTHER bomb in the starboard lifeboat that wasn't discovered but it was classed as a good drill. Mighty. What does this tell me? You don't have to find all the bombs as long as you have a second lifeboat.
