well folks, tomorrow I'll be flying out to Asia to catch up to my ship so you won't hear from me as often.I'll try to get online when I go ashore to get drunk... or go shopping.. you know.
for those that haven't read about it before, I'm a merchant marine. I'm an engineering officer on a 36,000 ton tankship delivering aviation fuel and diesel to the Navy bases over in Japan, Guam, S. Korea and other fun drinkin' ports. ;D
talk to you guys soon.

Stay away from Somalia.
Have a safe voyage, have fun, and come home in one piece. Maybe hungover, but one piece.

Have fun. ;D

Watch your 6, and come back safe, Talk to us when you can. Calm seas and all that.
Bacardi special select, cheap and smooth. ;D
Best of luck.

hey deepwater... Derek just got home awhile ago.. I'll call him in a bit and maybe at least know something before you go.
If not... have a safe trip.. ( don't forget your Dramamine ;D ;D ) and I'll be in touch.

DUBAI, just arrived this morning. spent a night in Fujaira (UAE) should be leaving in the morning. fortunately we have a security team on board. 12 squids and three boats while we're here in the gulf. nice guns. for those of you that are interested in what's going on with piracy, check out 'Pomparo' it's a short documentary by a couple of captains about the malacca straits. anyway, I'll get back online when we get to Diego Garcia.
oh yeah, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Take care Deep,
Be safe, we'll look forward to hearing from you soon.
An old sea ditty (that you probably know) for ya:
Me father was King Neptune,
Me mother was a mermaid.
I was born on the crest of a wave,
and rocked in the cradle of the deep.
Me eyes are stars, me teeth are spars,
and me hair is hemp and seaweed,
and when I spits, I spits tar.
I'm a rough ol' salt, I am I Arrrrrrgh, matey. ;D
Smooth seas and fair winds 'till your safe return.
