Surprise
ONE OF MY JOBS ON SPECIAL SEA AND ANCHOR DETAIL AT ONE TIME WAS AFTER STEERING. THE ONLY ONES BACK THEIR WAS ME AND A MAN ON THE PHONES. AS I REMEMBER WE WERE IN THE YARD FOR OVERHAUL. WE WENT OUT ON A SHAKE DOWN CRUISE. AFTER AWHILE THE CAPTAIN SWITCHED BACK TO AFTER STEERING TO TRY IT OUT. HE DID THEN SWITCHED IT BACK TO THE BRIDGE. SHORTLY THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT AGAIN. I HAD IT FOR IT SEEMED TO ME A LONG TIME. THEN THEY TOLD US TO SECURE. WHEN I CAME ON DECK I HAD BROUGHT THE SHIP ALONGSIDE THE PIER. WHAT A SURPRISE
