Subject: Neal Warren, Master Mariner


Damn right you will not find the definition written down anywhere, it
is a made up term used by no professionals. I suspect it flys around
yacht clubs like the title Capt.

But feel free to use anytime you want, it means nothing as anyone can
be called a master mariner if they get the itch to do so.

I think in the narrow community that has needs to understand the
accomplishments and required skills of a true master would use the term
Unlimited Master or Master of ******.

Capt.MMA is full of **** when he say it's an INDUSTRY term, it is not.
If it is PROVE it.

ROFL
Joe, as I told Neal, that I don't care if he uses the term as applicable to
himself, I don't really give a rats ass if you believe MMA or myself as to the
definition of the term.
It's been so *******ized in the movies, etc., that in truth, it really has no
meaning to the general public, is just fluff for people like Neal, and really
only has meaning of importance to those who hold unlimited licenses and those
who directly deal with them.
As to proving it to you, I have no interest in trying since I don't consider
your acceptance, pro/con, of my definition important.
Within the community/trade/industry I work in, the term is known and used in
one of two specific ways, related to a specific individual.
Believe me, don't believe me, like it or lump it, I could care less.
