I'd say that says it all . . . My mentor, the World Famous Captain Neal.

 If you had taken the photo from a little further away it might work,
 but it can be read -- it is a 25 tonner for domestic inshore waters.
 I believe that the OP was talking about a real ship officers license
 with indorsement probable foreign going all tonnage.

Hey Willy -- you should tell yourse....er, "Capt Neal," that the license has 
expired. No matter, we all have to start somewhere. Self-documenting sea 
time for the 25 ton MM and OUPV license is as good a start as any.
