I saw it. Neal use to be somewhat respected among mariners.
And he had a few things positive going on. IIRC he even sat for a 5
ton Capt. ticket.

Me thinks he caught the clap, and now his brain is rotting like
Hitlers did in his last days.

The Good Captain Neal is still very much respected among mariners. His
accomplishments are legion. His Master Mariner ticket is the highest and
most coveted of any seaman. Proof he http://www.badongo.com/pic/3853394

He e-mails me from time to time and I forward him a large box of his fan
mail. The last box I sent to Cape Town, South Africa. He's going round again
or those are his current plans at least.

Had the skipper of the lost "Red Cloud" procured the services of the Good
Captain on that ill-fated coffee run the Red Cloud would have never
foundered. He's sailed through many a tropical cyclone so some short-lived
little Gulf cold front he would have taken in stride even in a less than
seaworthy such as Red Cloud.
