and an aft facing: the MGB oil let go all over the talking ballast in the back about the time I took this photo, they were a little annoyed.



I thought the sliding onto the fwd spot on Engadine, at night, with another of the 737 course parked running on the aft spot was......character building?

For the OP, there are an enormous number of variables involved in shipboard DL's. Wind direction, sea state, ship's head, deck markings, W&T, obstructions are but a few of the factors to be considered. Those of us with a little knowledge may actually be dangerous, as our advice may have nothing to do with your operation or could actually mislead you.

I'd suggest a more specific explanation of your ops, or contact someone like TC to get personal training.

But remember the important point: enjoy it
