One of the most memorable was:
Having done Stand By coming into Panama anchorage, eastbound, and being slated for night passage/canal transit stand by, retired to the bar for a couple of beers with the intention of grabbing a few "Zees". Radio officer came into the bar and started telling me about the dolphins at the bottom of the gangway. Off we went with a few cans in hand. No, I didn't get any sleep, nearly five hours chatting and watching the dolphins hunt the flying fish, attracted by the cargo light! Finally shook from my reverie by a walkie talkie request for me to go to the ER!
