You are so correct my esteemed mariner..............

However ever prudent mariners should have the EPIRB onboard. The
problme is that so many use the USCG as a taxi service and are not
aware of the USCG SAR mission.

Time to go for a swim,

Let me guess you're in Tongo Tongo surrounded by naked maidens,
worshiping you as the master mariner you are. `

Damn Bob you progressed from a bum on the street begging for the
humble and noble job of scrubbing ****ters on any boat, to a jet
setting licenced 200 Ton master mariner in only 6 mo. And you did it
workings as a "slave"in the oilfield that you hate sooooo much. U R
awesum bobby. Just think if you were in that big union you could be
running the worlds largest super tanker by now!
