Default Shipmate

From Wiki:
A shipmate is literally a mate on one's own ship, ie. a member of the same
crew. A sailor of the oceans and seas who demonstrates selfless dedication
and loyalty, putting the crew, the ship and the mission above his/her self
interests.


So...

Who on this list would you prefer to ship with?



And who would you avoid at all costs?


=================================

In the Cave with the Lamb .. interesting question..

I'd sail along with Roger. He is smart, I'm not.
I'd hang near Skip, so I could borrow his diving thingy, I always wanted to
try that.
I'd invite Wilbur to sail in the fleet, just to hear him **** everyone off.


In fact, I'd sail along with about everyone here.

Can't you just see Wilbur and Skip on the same boat .. too funny.

Skip: "Wilbur, your an asshole"
Wilbur: "Skip, you shouldn't be on the water, your a danger to yourself"

Then Roger will pipe in from his Strider:: "Boys, I believe we are over the
wreck of the Hesperus".

Me:? I will be busy looking up the meaning of "halyard" .. and "sheet" and
"anchor" and Bow/stern/starboard/.. aft... on and on.
