This is the Captain speaking OUR TEN PLUS MONTH CRUISE COVERED BY THIS BOOK WAS AN EXPERIENCE, TO SAY THE LEAST. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THAT WE ALL GAINED FROM THIS EXPERIENCE. WE HAD BOTH HAPPY TIMES AND SAD TIMES; WE WORKED HARD AT TIMES AND PLAYED HARD AT OTHERS; WE HAD OUR UPS AND DOWNS; WE HAD GOOD LIBERTY PORTS AND POOR ONES. THROUGHOUT IT ALL THE THING THAT WAS EVER CLEAR TO ME AS WELL AS TO ALL FOR WHOM WEWORKEDIN WESTPAC WASTHE CONTINUING HIGH LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE OF MOBILE AND HER CREW. THE FACT THAT WE NEVER MISSED A COM- MITMENT, AND EVEN TOOK ON SOME EXTRA AND UNSCHEDULED ONES, AND COMPLETED THE CRUISE WITHOUT A SINGLE MAN MISSING MOVEMENT SPEAKS VOLUMES FOR OUR OUTSTANDING CREW. AS I ' VE SAID MANY TIMES BEFORE, YOU ' RE THE GREATEST. AND I MEAN IT. ALL I CAN ADD NOW IS ANOTHER THANK YOU FOR A JOB EXTREMELY DONE!
