the captain Lessons to be learned from the wreck of the 'RED CLOUD'

Goodness, and here I thought that all RBC folks were law abiding good guys. I mention short lobsters and it seems like everybody knows what I'm talking about. Next thing I'm going to mention jack lighting to see if there are any deer hunters in the crowd. No, absolutely not. Never. Although I did have a car with one headlight bent upward a little, years ago... somehow passed the state inspection anyway

the captain Lessons to be learned from the wreck of the 'RED CLOUD'

In the some sixty years that I've been messing around in boats I have never heard a professional seaman refer to himself as the good captain so I assume that you are some sort of ignoramus that knows nothing and rates right along side such other sterling examples of stupidity as the Good Captain Neil and Wilbur (the guy that can't spell his name correctly) for competency. I sailed into harbor in W Fla for the night and was addressed as 'Captain' by the dockie. I was single-handing but I still squirm with embarrassment as I don't consider myself to be experienced enough to earn that _title_. And I don't know when/if I'll be comfortable with it either. However, someone has to be in charge (me).. Hmm, a quandary! It is common courtesy to address the master of a vessel as Captain but one does not introduce one's self as Captain unless one is a serving military officer in which case it is proper to announce one's rank, primarily so that others know how to address you.

DSK Next you'll be telling me about how the kid taped that stupid 5 cell flashlight under the barrel on the 30-30 so he could shoot rats after dark...... Right! Bruce-in-Bangkok (correct email address for reply)

.... They called me, Captain Horvath, in the army, and many brave men saluted me. I was a real captain. You may have been a real Captain, but still outranked by a Navy Lieutenant. If I were to claim a _title_, I'd be just as happy to be the senior petty officer on board. That leaves no doubt as to who is really in charge in any emergency, yet I can still loaf most of the time. former BT1(SW) Doug King

There's different grades of lieutenants in the navy. An army captain outranks them all.
