That reminds me of a nite in the English channel when my mate and i sharing a berth on a ferry coming home had a rude awakening at 3am being thrown out of our bunks and in all the years i crossed the Channel that was, thank goodness, the only time i had to grab my life jacket and make for the muster station,
We had a English Pilot on board [not a flying one]

because it was a French ferry on it's way into Dover, and i remember him saying" if she does not come back we will be over the side"! not something you want to hear i can assure you!!
Well we had a good Captain as he turned the ship ok but it was the worst crossing i had, mind you it was a flat bottom ship so it never was a very good crossing anyway, thankfully the company i drove for only used her for 3 months and then we went back to some better ferries,
Cheers,
Roger.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
