My Fellow Marinier:

I can not agree with your opinion that Neal's "...Master Mariner
ticket is the highest and
most coveted of any seaman...."

I do not belive a 25 GRT NCW license supports your claim regardless if
it his 2nd Issue. To paraphrase the USCG licensing site, one day sea
service over 5 GRT will qualify you for a 25 GRT license. So the the
guy self certified he had 360 days NC in 18' skiff and one day getting
drunk on a friend's 6 GRT stinkpot. Not what I would call "most
coveted" nor capable ability............................ :/
