We just like to keep tabs on you lot to make sure you aren't lost again.

Personally if I need to know where we are I nip along to the bridge and ask one of the bus drivers to point it out to me on the map.

It's because you glorified bus drivers have a habit of running ships aground and we don't want to be dragged through the courts with you because some moron as hit an island...

Yer, you like giving us hard questions :-)

I seem to remember one particular hard question resulting in a full page explanation with a pretty graph and everything. Well impressive.

In terms of educational (not practical) apps, there are three ones I own for helping you learn buoyage, Rules of the Road and Nav lights by a dev called iGlimpse. You learn it all in class obviously but I've had a play on a train or two before.

And at what point did you get bored and wander off?

We would hate you to think our job was any easier than yours. Otherwise you would suggest differentials in salaries in your favour ...

Nah, I have seen some deck officers throughly combobulated by them though...

Angry birds does get quite tricky in the latter levels...

Remembers last sea phase , playing Plants vs zombies in the crew mess computer , having wagers of soft drinks on who could complete a level that had been on there for a few days. True to say i never won any soft drinks . Put a fillipino in front of a computer for a few hours and he will succeed , darn cook and steward winning all the time they must of had nothing else to do whilst the rest of us grafted
