Captain
I just wanted to wish you a very happy retirement and to thank you for all the posts you have made, i have been following you for a couple of years from Phuket and as an ex seafarer (albeit only 2/0) it has been a pleasure reading and reminiscing on past days.
My time here is drawing to a close as well, this dam virus has crippled the tourist industry here and i will be returning to england with my dog and girlfriend once she has a visa.
Once again many thanks and stay safe to your lovely family and good self

I’ve been following.... just wanted to wish you the best of luck Skipper. My wife and I retired two years ago and we say “everyday is SOMEDAY!” Keep that in mind and enjoy

Hi Captain, with apologies for the delay in responding. Just wanted to wish you a long, happy and healthy retirement! You certainly deserve it! It has been an absolute pleasure to sail with a man who leads by example and is loved by his crew! (I will also never forget the “tender 9 saga”). All the best and please give my best regards to “K1”

Captain, thank you so much for a most moving and lovely farewell. Your photos brought back memories of so many wonderful places and people who will be with me always. Although I was only able to do 2 1/2 world cruises with you, I enjoyed them so much and made friends for a lifetime, including with some of the most wonderful crew and staff. As a captain, I so admired your approach-ability and willingness to engage in even the silliest of activities, never mind your commitment to the best and safest experience for the guests. I’m heartbroken that the AMDM is gone, it having been home for so many months of my life, and that the industry has such an uncertain future. For the furloughed mariners, it’s so very sad. Your retirement timing was certainly fortuitous! I wish you and Karen a wonderful life going forward, you deserve it. All the best, Susan
