Which ship was your last one?
I'm going to China this summer for a couple months; always loved port calls in Hong Kong.

 

I did one cruise on the Eisenhower, but that was a Med cruise.
My buddy was a seaman (BMSN) on a supply ship on the west coast and he goes to Philippines in the summer for vacation. He has a wife there.
I keep all I need in my condo in China, so all I need is a backpack. Have to travel with much more though with a wife and 2 children.

 

Here's some music you might enjoy.

Sailor (1961) Petula Clark Lyrics

Lolita - Sailor, Your Home Is The Sea (U.S. hit version 1960)

 

Good luck, drove for them for 4 years & just left couple weeks ago. Family issues forced me off road or I’d still be there. The 1st 6 months I was there saw all 48 states & Canada. Do your job, keep your logs clean & they’ll leave you alone which is what I liked. When I turned in 2 weeks notice they actually ran me to weeks.

 

That old Enterprise. Ive heard stories about that ship, particular the rooster tail rumor.

Nothing I can find proves or disproves. So I must assume it happened. What with the overcapacity she had.

 

I think that an old "sea story" because a rooster tail is wasted energy.
