Joining the fun here. I'm an Aggie from Texas A&M having graduated in 1976 from the Texas Maritime Academy in Galveston. I served in the Naval Reserve for 4 years while I was sailing on merchant tankers. I continued sailing, making Master in 1981 and sailing as Master until 1994. I then came ashore on the administrative side of shipping until 2005 when I returned to working as a pilot of super tankers mooring to an offshore Single Buoy Mooring where we load the ships directly from a production platform about 70 miles off the coast of Angola, West Africa.
Even though I never sailed active in the Navy, I still have a number of friends that have, and I still feel a kinship there.
Thanks for the new site Big X! I expect this to be just as successful as the VTX Cafe!
