Croatia - University of Rijeka


Here I am at the Faculty of Maritime Studies, University of Rijeka last week. They let me play with their new piloting simulator (they say they can simulate any harbour in the world in any weather condition). I crashed my patrol boat into a freighter at 30 knots (my *instructor* kept pushing the throttle to max).
Next month it's Portoroz, then Split and Dubrovnik next year. Faculties of Maritime studies each time, but this is coincidental - a project I'm involved with this year is about teaching quality in the Croatian and Slovenian University systems in general. It's just that the best venues for the project meetings are on the coast!

It's Brains from Thunderbirds! You keep all those rescue vehicles going from a hi-tech console in Rijeka? I thought it was Ealing.
