They have these scale model boats that are used to simulate the handling characteriistics of full scale ships. Pretty cool. Anyone up to a "r.b NGer" road trip? I can only imagine the chance to meet those who have helped me and thank them personally. Make sure you stop in Derby, Kansas, home of the sudden onset tostitos. |

I was thinking maybe along the lines of a group cruise to Scandinavia for that pilot training facility. We could all learn to be better boaters. And maybe take turns as "Captain Of The Day" on the trip over there. |

I spent the day yesterday at a facility that trains merchant marine officers, sort of learning how to operate simulators for the bridge of a freighter, a tanker and a tug. I only hit the Golden Gate Bridge twice. Well, actually I sideswiped it. Took a couple photos of the arrays, which I will post later. Did you ever post those pics, did I miss it? |

And maybe take turns as "Captain Of The Day" on the trip over there. Been there - done that. A good friend of mine was a Captain of a refurbished Onasis tanker and Mrs. Wave and I took a trip with him from Baltimore to Venezesula with a stop in Houston and back. It was a ton of fun - I got to pilot the ship for a watch (under supervision of course) - pretty cool deal. What was really fun was seconding the First Mate with position fixes and stuff like that, then plotting it out on charts - getting the latest updates - I had a blast. Mrs. Wave, not so much until we got to port when Christmas shopping took over. :) |
