Perhaps, the captain was so damn proud of his ship that he couldn't even afford the ship's name to slip away from the eyes and memory of gawkers that easy...

ZUGA!!!

I won't need glasses to see that name!

Well, I've officially just signed my life away to the sea for all eternity

Congratulations Jack

Well, I don't even know whether I should cry or be happy about that. In any of these cases, congratulations though!

Hopefully when you ask me the same question in 30 years time I'll still say I'm happy

And thanks TFM

I knew one guy who in 22 went on his first trip on a ship as a cadet. Whether he was washed off the ship during the first storm or was he deliberately thrown overboard or did he intentionally jump off the ship - still now one knows. The fact is the casket was empty. Just sayin'.

Well that was nice of you... $:-\$

You know just how to cheer people up...

Congratulations Jack, well done.

I can't guarantee that it will all be a bed of roses (in fact I can pretty much guarantee that it won't!), but I have been at sea for nearly 20 years now and if I could go back and do it all over again there's not much I would change (apart from that fat girl in Santos

).

Just so you know that work at sea is not about the brave captains with huge ego, dandy ships & screaming seagulls. No wonder everywhere's written SAFETY FIRST

It's not?

That's where I've been going wrong all these years!
