Default Off to the sea

Finnaly passed my Boat leader competence test and got my licence. Now I am allowed to sail any motorboat or sailboat under 24 metres. Not enough for a type VII, maybe a type II, but definatelly for a small commercial sub or a Japanese kamikaze torpedo

Congratulations. You're doing better than me. This is the only watercraft I am qualified to sail.

Torplexed, don't worry. You can also handlel a boat if theres at least one with the licence on board, so rent a jacht and invite a couple od dozen babes and as long as I'm on board you can handle the boat. And I'll handle the girls

Sailor Steve, you don't want this piece a junk I call computer, it's days are numbered and in the autumn I buy a new one and the it's only going to be as usefull as a foot stool... or maybe an anchor

And thanks everybody, if you need a skiper, just contact me

Is that some highly secret sonar dome I see under your keel?

Looks like you were wrong clever clogs...It's some kind of "stableizer thingy" for stabilising the boat

Waaahhh! Everyone is picking on my toy boat.

By the way I think the word you're all looking for is KEEL.
