Unbeknown to his mom and I, young Buna scored so highly in his Chief Officers Exam at the end of last year, he was accepted for some sort of Expert Mariners Panel (apparently consisting of twenty people across the UK).
I can't go into any more detail because he hasn't made much reference to it in our conversations but what I do know is the fact that tomorrow he has been invited to visit the UK Hydrographic Office for a two day visit/tour and amongst other artifacts he will get to see in their archives will be the original manuscripts and early charts by Captain James Cook and Captain William Bligh.
