Once in a while I when I go through some of my old photo albums I get the chance to reflect on some on the things I have observed during my stint on aboard a nuclear powered submarine. In no particular order these are my top ten oddities/questions:
1. I have been to Hong Kong twice have never been to its Airport.
2. The Golden Gate bridge really looks real ugly from underneath.
3. As chaotic as the Yokosuka harbor is (Japan) for shipping there are still very few accidents.
4. British Columbia is not beautiful until you actually tie up the boat to the pier.(Strait of Juan de Fuca)
5. Ketchikan, Alaska is so breathtakingly beautiful it can make the most fouled mouthed sailor speechless
6. Why do all Navy “haunches” look similar regardless of their location on the planet?
7. I now know the meaning of your “shadow at high noon” during lunchtime in Guam (Shadow?)
8. The Soviet Union would have beautiful place if I had ever been there, officially at least.
9. Why was I chosen to start the new century straddling the dateline and equator at midnight of 1/1/2000? (Golden Millenium Shellback)
10. Rough Seas? it is as still as a building down here (at a depth of 400 feet under during any given Typhoon in the South China Sea)
