I'd like to say that since I wrote it I got a 100 but, for some odd reason, I thought ECDIS was Electronic Chart DISplay. I also didn't know the Brits called him "Metal Mike" untill I verified the answers.
Yes I've heard "Monkey Island" but was "trained" not to use it by a Capt who, after getting in an argument with the 2/m over the term, said "Fly through this hitch or chip paint with the monkeys, your choice". Still not sure his objection to the term since the topic wasn't brought up again.
