Clanky, I'm a navigator myself, 2nd officer. A good reason to react against the actions of this crew. I'm certainly not a racist, have only positive remarks about Asian deckhands. I'm talking about two groups of officers, one holding a good licence, the other a questionable one...in my opinion.

Now return to your engine room, please.
Hmm, there's no sarcasm smiley around here..

I've just read that the Cpt was having a birthday party, and so left the 1st officer in command of the bridge.
The vessel was running 15 minutes late to meet the pilot vessel in Tauranga, and the First Officer took a short cut to save time, and ran aground with the new course.
