As usual you don't recall squat correctly so you might be better off to
just stop pretending like you know anything about the industry. You look
even more stupid, if that is possible. You are an offense to those of us
who actually do what you puff and posture about.

Hazlewood is still a thousand times the seaman and master that you could
hope to be if you sailed for a thousand years.

This is a good time for you to just shut up.

I hear Hazlewood sued exxon and won many millions of dollars.

I know whenever I was in any type of channel, or in an area that you
could run aground I was on the wheel or standing next to the person
that was, hang over or not. **** rolls uphill on a ship.

Mates are for open water IMO.
