However I resigned my position in 2007 and would prefer not to discuss why on Professional grounds and safety aspects. Was involved with a carrier in Muscat as Captain to a high powered vessel taking crew to and from shore until early ours of morning. Was awarded by Master Chef of that vessel a rather gallant award for my brave efforts in running off a vessel that entered the security Zone only 250mtr off its Starboard Quarter.
