God bless you bro! for your service to this Republic and for the way you live your life. Always do love your sea stories.

It was good too me and for me but all the time I needed LOL. It also about took my life a few times. I was just too dern dumb then too realize it LOL. The simplest of incidents can put a ship in trouble. We had a DFT line rupture {make up water feeding the boilers} in Three Main. It spayed into number 5 switchboard and melted it. We last three mains two boilers and use of some other equipment that fed off it's panels till overhaul. I think that happened toward the last of our 1979 MED Cruise or possibly a short jaunt out afterward before the overhaul.
