Coast Guard reg. #45.3-84.6 = starting March, 2006, all ships will be
required to have their phone number painted on both sides of hull and
on the stern. Numbers must be day-glo orange paint, min 8' tall and be
visible for 500 miles (even in fog). Lighting is required after dusk.

Duh ... he had the phone number didn't he, dip****.

Uncanny..... is the fact that
every company knows where their vessels are!

Yeah, and YOU don't know who the company is or where they and their
ships are are and you don't have diddly sqat info about any ship
that
"might" be there.

It was nice that you could call your buddy. You had his phone number
didn't you? Did you call one of the bulkers that were rounding the
corner into English Bay just a couple of miles away? Not knowing if
a
ship was even there, much less what the name of the ship might be,
who
owns it and who manages it, you will have fun obtaining the ships
sat
phone number.

You really don't get it do you?
