<p>maybe the coasties aren’t giving deckies as much credit for watchstanding on the KINGS POINTER?? The 300 days seemed to work okay for my son… but more is always better. </p>
<p>Davy, do you engineers need to get a certain amount of “steam” time for your license? With steamships being replaced by motor ships, that time may become harder to come by… How are you guys dealing with that? I think it’s conceivable that some day there won’t be any more steamships and the “steam” license may go away altogether.</p>
