Scott Kreger's website
Life of a Navi-guesser.
Hello and thank you for visiting my website. This website will primarily be used for friends and family to see the latest in my travels as a merchant mariner. Most recently, I sailed on a Cable ship, the Tyco reliance. Not a bad gig, but took some getting used to. We primarily laid fiber optic cable off Egypt, in the Gulf of Suez & the Red Sea.
Today's events.

Just got back from a hike with the girls (Daisy & Rosy), & offroading the Land Rover. Having recently purchased a Land Rover Discovery II, the Porsche sits largely ignored in the garage, and the grass in the front yard is reaching new heights!

The TYCO Reliance is a cable ship that is capable of carrying 5465.5 metric tons worth of fiber optic cable. She is 459 feet long, has a service speed of 13 knots, can carry 80 personnel and has a cruising range of 20,500 nautical miles.
Any damn fool can circumnavigate the world sober.
It takes a really good sailor to do it drunk.
