Hi Menno,
Congratulations on your promotion.

Personally I still prefer the old names of Master, Mate, Second Mate, Third Mate etc. I never did like the idea of calling merchant seamen officers.
Any I hope all goes well for you and look forward to hearing how things were for the trip to China.
Best wishes,
Angus.
