What makes a ruud ship driver do you not give way at canals?

Thanks, Brian

Legally no, because I would need to revalidate my Master's licence first. My licence is unlimited though so once renewed, I could command any commercial ship of any size (although with some ships, such as tankers, I would need the appropriate Dangerous Cargo Endorsements too).

It's great fun but these new beasties don't handle like anything I've experienced before. The azipod thrusters take a bit of getting used to and require a delicate hand. I'm surprised you didn't suggest a strap to match my inmate suit though

Warp speed is what I would've been afraid of being ham-fisted on those sticks!

You need one Ruud that's qualified to drive a ship and there's your Ruud Ship Driver

Wow. That's a great pic.

Must have been an awesome experience.

Looking good.

Cool pic.

Very nice, never had the pleasure to sail with azipods. Two steerable nozzles with diesel electric fixed props is my game.

I had some trouble sewing your head on to your new body. The operation was a success but the patient died.

Very funny Rock
