Why I Want To Be A Captain

KWhile supervising cargo ops on a Matson container ship in the Port of Honolulu this evening, I needed to run up to the navigation bridge to read some weather data and silence some alarms. I walked by the chart table and came across this wonderful essay, which according to the editor's note was written by a 10 year old. It makes me smile every time I read it!

If I must go to work...

I only assume it could be much worse than this. I'm breaking the rules today and posting two pictures. The first is from a quick walk up to the top of Diamond Head for a view of town and the second is while I was walking off the ship for my second day on the job. I know it's hard to believe, but they actually pay me for this. And they leave me in charge. Both of these almost blow my mind!
