Had to call the Duty Pilot about a write-up I, yes, performed at the outstation

MX wanted to do a deferral that didn't exist in the onboard MEL. Duty Pilot said according to the General Information Manual, shipboard manuals can be up to 2 revisions behind :0 Good grief! He authorized me to fly with a faxed copy of he new MEL revision pages applicable to the deferral. Just buy the danged iPads, already!!
