That's some good news Jim.

Captain James. That sounds pretty nice.

Congratulations Jim!

Much appreciation and respect for all your kind words, the 'Captain' thanks you all as well

@Mr Quatro: No, we haven't been on a cruise on any vessel he was working on up to now but we have experienced a couple of day visits when the vessel is on the Tyne.

I'm not sure he would appreciate his mom sneaking up on the bridge and following/stalking him wherever he went

Maybe one day.

Question Jim.

Would the new Captain be considered young, average or old to have gotten his Masters Rating?

He's here at my home now and he answers: "Young, the average sea time needed is between twelve and fifteen years but I have been fortunate to qualify after ten years".

Thanks. All the more reason to be a proud Dad. Once again, good show James.

Congrats to your young Captain!

...and congrats to you and the missus, Jimbuna...

...and let the new Captain know, while at sea he may be the Captain, but at home you're the Admiral...
