Dear Mr.Hyman; All the calendars have X’s on them and everyone knows exactly how many days they have been out at sea. As soon as that gangway’s down, everyone not on watch heads for the nearest bar. And if you’re on watch, you know you’re going to be standing a double watch.

Hi js– I’ve a friend on a box ship this summer: Port Eliz NJ and lots of stops to Mumbai, with his only chance of getting off vessel is in Algeciras, SP. I’ll get full report in late August.
