"I hope you will one day have the pleasure to work on such a nice vessel. Or as a guest. So you can chill out a little bit. "

I have seen enough to become very selective about the vessels I sail on.

There is an old saying that says God protects fools, drunks, and small children. He also protects seafarers most of the time. I suggest you sit down and have a nice quiet read of this report just released today by the MAIB.

http://www.maib.gov.uk/publications/...dy_candida.cfm

Everything is quite clear in hindsight. That is why such reports are written, so that lucky fools have the benefit of someone else's hindsight. Do you see any similarity between your crew and Candida's? Just to add a little more flavor to the stew, we are entering the 10th year of ISM and we still have incidents like these happening for the same reasons that all the alphabet agencies were founded.

I wish you well my friend, you will need much luck in your venture.
