As an old fart, turning 50 next time, it's an odd feeling looking around this forum. I've sailed with many cadets over the years, and often wondered what goes on inside their heads. Maybe I can find the answer here.
Jokes aside, they have all been a friendly bunch, and it's always been a pleasure having them on board.
I've served for 22 years on anchorhandlers, the last 12 as captain. At the moment we work out of Rio de Janeiro with six cadets on board, four on deck and two in the engineroom. They keep us on our toes, having to pull out the old books almost daily.
