Great news indeed.

When we cruised on Rotterdam the 3rd Officer was a woman from NZ , and she was in command in taking the ship out of several ports.

You go girls!!!:)

Girl Power:)

Ohh dear, going to crash :P haha

I'm just kidding, not been serious :)

I wonder what her reversing skills are like. Lucky it doesn't have a trailer on the back. LOL:D

At the cocktail party on the Pac Sun a couple of weeks ago, Captain Box told us that Sarah was taking over as Captain from Charlie Carr. He also added that she used to be his second in command a few years ago and he was scared of her then !!! lol

Good on her - it's about time there was a bit of girl power on the high seas !!

Get a grip kiwi sailor - I have been backing trailers for years (mostly horse floats) without a problem and I know I'm not alone ;)

They dont need backing skills these days.

Todays Captains just programme it all into a computer , and that takes them there.

They do however , need to have , very good computing skills.

One Captain once told me , on the Sydney to Auckland run, the computer took it there and all he had to do was guide the ship for the last 1 metre to the wharf.:D
