Seriously, I was offered the job of 3rd mate on a Greek when they were shorthanded. As a spec wearing R/O I decided to decline and they bumped up the bosun.


Sounds like I could fit in if I can remember my password.

Wow you have experience! Sign here Dave Mc Gouldrick!..... Steward! take Daves gear to the Captains cabin and show him where everything is then bring him up to the bridge.
Oh...and grab a bottle of four bells on the way up.
