In reading "the Dawn" I inserted "the Darwin" and had all kinds of thoughts about both decoration and chances for returning from the cruise. A whole new "Love Boat" meets "Survivor" type of theme boat. Hey if they can totally screw up "Gilligan's Island" into some lame "Survivor" knock off, a cruise ship will be next. Remember you heard it here first thus I get the royalties.
Watched 15min of Gilligan today during lunch, will have been much better in less a game show and more a test of getting off the island in a real way given this was the basis of the origional TV show. Hey, I'm a real millionare, big deal as you compete for a life preserver. Hit the coconut with the hammer and
send the life preserver up the rope
etc. Stupid! Will have been much better to present problems such as a 18" hole in a boat to patch or various
current and raft challenges, if not just abandonig them with cameras pre-set and making it a group challenge to get off instead of winner takes all on some beach with a host and lots of crew.
Other reason I mention this is beyond you being an old salt now or soon to be in more than just lighting, or having passed King Neptunes' party in the near future, can we
call you "the Captain" as your new title in a more benevolent way than a seamen?
Have fun out there or in prepping as a land lubber a few more months.
Before you go, you might check out the movies Ghost Ship and what's that one with Christoper
Lee about a cruise ship trapped some 40 or so years under the sea? Never know when it might be useful.
