I raised it with the boats in St.

Leary and he raised it with the company.

And I think, well, I'm pretty sure that he was just dismissed.

Well, nobody knew.

He made some comments to another captain on another ship and he'd made some comments to the shore management that he won't make his mind up when he gets down a particular area.

So that was the absolute confusion completely of which way he went.

either east or west, and as it turned out, he went west.

He was a bit, it was vague.

He would go off and say something to you that was absolutely no relationship to what I'm doing.

I'm steering the ship out of the port.

And we start steaming out and he says, head to that red house up the road there.

Keep the compass on that.

So then go starboard, go this.

And then the relief helmsman, Mick Power, came up to relieve me.

And I said, he's a bit weird, that skipper.

He said, yeah, he wasn't very complimentary.
