Quarterdeck Podcast #2

Captains,

Our second podcast is posted on the AMVER Blog. This month Ben Strong and I discuss Piracy and other popular topics of interest from the Connecticut Maritime Association's Shipping 2011 conference.

I look forward to continuing my work with Ben Strong at AMVER. The AMVER Blog recently recorded 1 million hits.

To men and women who go to sea .....Captains

This blog is for you. My goal is to promote safety, security and stewardship in the maritime. As a seafarer, you should have the same goal.

You and I are bound by law and tradition to serve one and other as seafarers and stewards of the waterways. Good seamanship and stewardship takes commitment, experience, and appreciation for the sea and your fellow seafarer.

I hope these postings will motivate you as captains and crew to do your duty. Keep your vessel ship shape. Maintain a vigilant watch. Follow the rules of the road. And communicate, communicate, communicate. Don't ever assume anything. Your crew and passengers are depending on you.

Rear Admiral Jim Watson
