Re: Hello, not new here but moved from SN
Hi to all and let's have a good watch.
On one ship I was handing over to the 2nd.Mate and he quoted " the 12 to 4 came through the door, the 4 to 8 were never late" At that point the Old Man appeared and I never found out what happened to the 8 to 12!
Has anyone info on this

Victoria, take what is left by the neck and enjoy it.
Do not let any one tell you you are too old to do that, just do it and hell them to go whistle Dixie.
I was told I was too old to climb ladders, asked for the regulations on that one, still waiting for a reply.


Happy daze John in Oz.
