#6 : wife, you sexists ! #10 : Micheal Collins. Question #3: would you pretend you were in a space ship orbiting the earth for £5000 and a trip to Star City (the real one in Russia) ?
Now if I ever got really really bored and I had plenty of time on my hands I might try to work out how many miles I had sailed.
Suffice to say that a colleague of mine of about the same age as me here on my ship reckoned he had sailed a million miles last year (he must have had a lot of time on his hands at some point!).
Obviously a lot depends upon the type of ships over the years and other related things but I am probably somewhere in the same ball park. Transatlantic container ships clock up a hell of a lot more nautical miles than bulk carriers but it all averages out over the years and my first trip to sea, as a fresh-faced engineering cadet, was in 1977.
