Schedule
Damon Ramsey

 I keep this schedule as up-to-date as possible.
For completed trips and full 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, 
orange for available & possible, including applications, 
purple for time off, including private expeditions for writing books, lectures & website,
green for work related courses, transit & training etc
