Over the coming months this page of our website will be devoted to bringing you the thoughts, feels and news from the Sealanders themselves.  So keep watching as new additions will be made regularly.

"Well I have not been able to get out to Sealand for a while due to personal issues.  However I am back now, and boy is it great to be here, I love this place!  And what a difference, Church and East have worked miracles whilst I have been away, there is not a trace of the fire left and the place has come along on leaps and bounds.  The new shower and bathroom look great, this new kitchen is amazing, but the thing that I think is the best improvement is the wind power system, apparently the whole time I have been away no diesel has been used.  The wind system was just going in when I became ill, but seeing it in action is great, a huge well done to all the Church and East crew and the Sealanders that have helped them!"

"I have worked here for almost a year now and still this place is as wierd and wonderfull as the day I came aboard, same as the rest who work here I suppose... though a bit less on the wonderfull, especially with me in mind LOL!Thier has been many times of which I have yearned for land, though this peacefull existance is one that most desire and one that I love! It has it's moments, when you are stranded, when you wish you didn't come... but all in all I wouldn't miss it for the world :DThe work itself, well the place speaks volumes... looking back on the pictures of the devestation that was left by the fire and seeing how it is now. It's been hard but no-one said it was going to be easy, with a strong dedicated team of nutters and professionals, lol, we've re-built this country to an acceptable standard of living, though we ain't done yet as thier is always something to do ;)One of the things that I love, is the sea view from your kitchen window... from the comfort of your sofa... and from your window as you wake each morning! It can't get much better than that, or can it? We'll see ;)Thier we go, see ya soon :)"

"Well someone’s called it thoughts from The Sealanders, if I was in charge I would have called it thoughts from the fort, but who am I?  This week in Sealand has been pretty hectic, we had a surprise Saturday cargo delivery of a huge bunch of batteries to add to the power core plus a load of new fishing gear, 4 more lobster pots and some big scary hooks. A lot of people will tell you in fishing circles that man made structures are great for attracting fish. Well we live on one and I can tell you the fishing is amazing, the only problem is there is quite a lot of obstructions in the waters around Sealand and pot fishing has to be done very carefully or the ropes get snagged! This hasn’t stopped me having a really successful few days though, we’ve pulled 4 fish (quite ugly ones but they taste lovely), 2 crabs and three lobsters plus loads of prawns. What’s always funny out here is that we can live like kings on seafood but still crave really basic things that are plentiful in the UK, at present I’m thinking of noodles, because I’ve run out so will have to put up with pasta shells. I’m not going to be in Sealand for 11^th as I have to go back and arrange the purchase of 1.6 tonnes of fibreglass, but all the preparations for Remembrance Day are in place. I know that technically we are not part of the commonwealth, but British troops served and died here so it’s a bit of a tradition among the guards to remember, we throw a wreath which is bought over from the UK into our swirling seas and then watch it float away while we have our silence. It generally brings tears to the eyes of even the toughest of the guards. We’ve also just had fireworks night which for us is the greatest free entertainment you can imagine. We are in a unique position to watch the whole of the east coast light up and from our elevated position the spectacle is amazing. We’ve also started thinking about Christmas arrangements, who’s going back to the UK who’s staying, what the Christmas menu is and where on earth did we put the Christmas lights. We’ve always had an artificial tree and there’s a very good reason why, no one really is confident that a wooden one would not end up on the fire if the weather was too bad. Talking of weather the UK has just been bashed by a huge storm surge, fortunately from what our friends at the BBC have told us the damage was not too bad and no lives were lost. Out here it was very windy and the sea level was higher than anyone can remember, on the side of the south tower is a marker with 37 written on it. This is the point exactly halfway up the towers, so the sea was a good 7 foot higher than normal, not a problem for us it would take another 25 foot to give us any concerns but quite a sight to see. We also have to disable the wind turbines in conditions like this, they are tough but a force 9 can play havoc with them, so we had to either use diesel or run on batteries for a few hours. As diesel costs money we used batteries, thankfully they were all (45 of them now) fully charged so we closed the doors lit the fire and stayed inside, as you can imagine arguments about what to watch on TV followed, but I’ve just got a new computer game so I didn’t care. Well I’m on fishing duty now so I’ll speak later. Take care and if you want to get in touch just email guards@churchneast.co.uk.

Bye"
