It's not just Navy types, Africans are bad for disappearing from where you expected them to be.....I was let down after actually ringing a floater for confirmation and speaking to the radio operator 20 mins before ETD. Fortunately the 40 mile difference was actually closer to our departure point and by co-incidence on the track. Only trouble was that we had TOO much fuel then.
Watch for deck cleats and tie down points.
