One who makes 1st ORB entry is always right, rest will follow. Chance of getting shore leave is inversely proportional to stay at port. Master knows everything and so does the Cadet. Galley department is more informed than the Master. You will always find someone on-board who will leave shipping after this sailing. He joins back within 1 months of signoff ! Everyone on-board has the most expensive gadget.....for listening to music. Club movie goes missing exactly when you wish to see it. Everything is possible on-board specially to him who doesnt have to do it. Nobody reads SMS, yet everyone has read it within a week. The number of vetting remarks is directly proportional to the efforts placed in preparing the vessel. If u do not have type specific ECDIS you do not know ECDIS ! Doesnt matter you read its manual or completed your contract with safe watchkeeping. Nobody knows which maritime course to do, yet you are doing courses every vacation as per STCW 2010. When everything fails you still do not RTFM. You can estimate the rank of mariner by quality and frequency of cuss words in his talk. Somebody will always crib about the food onboard. The buck stops at the cadet. You spend more time in filling checklist and forms than doing the required task. You have not signed off till you have signed off. You can never be wiser than someone with more sea-time experience. You almost never know where to go ashore yet you want shore leave desperately. You know more about latest phones than the latest maritime conventions. Drills are events where you find out who cleared maritime examination recently😎
