There is no more joy in a man's life then being a witness to the success of his offspring.

So, he's no longer the No. 1 and is much closer to being a captain...


Does that make him a NO. .5?...




Congrats to the lad and hopes for a long, safe, and prosperous career...

Very nice to hear. Congratulations!
Just hope the ship's name is not 'Sofala'

His vessel is the Eurodam, he was initially going to join her today in San Diego but asked for and was granted extended leave so he will join her next Monday after her six day sailing across to Hawaii.

Congratulations to the lad. Great to see people who work hard toward goals make those goals. He's meeting the ship in Hawaii. I hope the name of her isn't Minnow.

Try this a full flight video with no music from LAX to Hawaii five hours and 27 minutes long .. I watch on the PC and listen to music on smart TV at the same time, while pretending to be in first class in my man cave, but I have no excuses for being alone.

Want to join me?

Would have loved to have sent him that link if I'd known about it earlier but I believe his flight from Heathrow to LA took off a little over an hour ago.

If he gets in touch tomorrow before the flight to Hawaii I'll certainly forward it to him

Flying Heathrow to LA. That is one lo-o-ong flight. There's not a lay over on the east coast?
At least the Earth rotating toward him.

I once flew from Frankfurt to LA and yes, that's a long flight (especially since the plane back in 2001 didn't have an inflight entertainment system...).

No, his lay over is in LA, the flight to Hawaii being the following day.

EDIT: Just used my tracking software and it would appear she is currently nearing Hawaii

He rang his mom during the night to let her know he was safely onboard.
