Never make the mistake of calling it a boat in the presence of the Skipper, heard more than one CO say, loud and sarcastic,

”Let’s call it a ship, shall we”!

Go to sea, drink coffee, deploy Marines...Repeat. 😎

I’m vertically challenged, tried to join the Coast Guard but they told me I had to be 6’ tall, in case my ship sank I could wade back to shore without getting my hair wet.
