Schedule
Damon Ramsey

 I keep this schedule as up-to-date as possible. For just completed trips and work history go to work history of Damon Ramsey. Each trip is usually set out as: dates & ports, my role, the region and trip name, the name of the ship, the name of the company (with some variations). The colour coding is: White for work; including my role, dates, locations, ship, company, red for cancellations & changes (slowing down as covid does), orange for possible, such as applications, purple for private expeditions for writing books, lectures & website, and time off, green for work related courses, transit & training etc
