After passing the Master Mariner exam in December 1989, we spent a few weeks in Australia. During this time we visited the
Australian capital, Canberra, and also Brisbane.
It was easy for us because in both places we had
friends who took care of us during the stay.
In the meantime, as a practise, I kept in touch with
the Director Operations of the Shipping Company, I worked for when I was in Australia. When I passed the exam I did not waste
time in informing him of the good news. When I phoned him and conveyed the good
news he congratulated me and said “We might have something for you when you get
back!” That message registered very strongly in my mind.
