Having joined in Miami I immediately visited three ports that after nearly 39 years at sea, I have not been to before. They were Key West, Nassau and Egg island which was a small island in the Bahamas. Here we did a beach BBQ on a perfect day.
I really have been made to feel welcome. I have been handling the ship to get to know here. It’s a bit like driving different cars. The principles are the same but its the nuances that make each vessel different. There is only one way to learn them and that is to get on and do it.
