so its late at night and you just came off your last bridge watch with the bosun pissing and moaning about having to re-do his watch bill , and you type it in and print it out for him , and really like it that your name is not on it finally since you are on the flying squad now , and cant take the wheel because youd need to go to a fire but still you already miss the feeling of that wheel in your hands and the way you have to use a little back rudder to pull the boat right on to the course the officer of the deck sets , and how the whole ship does what you tell it to but still who wants to sit on a dark , dark bridge with the faces reflected in the windows and the skipper snoozing away in his chair and snoring , and everyone laughing a little at that and then right five degrees rudder new course 275 sir my rudder is right five degrees coming to new course 275 and the compass clicking around to 273 and then you put the rudder over left five to steady and then sir steady on new course 275 very well .
