Here have this photo I took during my last contract.
I'm a 3rd officer, from me personally... big respect for the guys in the engine room. Being a seafarer is definitely something that'll make you different from the rest and it's not something everyone can do.
Due to my very different views on life... never really fit in... vicious cycle of ruining my personal life and love relationships by being absent for long periods only to yearn to go back to sea because I once again have nothing going for me back "home"... maybe the only real home I have is the ship that goes from port to port. Just know that he probably had thoughts about you a lot during his time at sea and is glad you are doing your best, be a good man before all and that is everything a man can ask of you.
There is something special in a man's soul when a long day at sea comes to an end watching the sun set. I often wonder how many before me for thousands of years have also watched the same scene and found momentary joy in the little things.
