You go first John......let's see a favorite of yours......

Way too many to pick from but a few that pop into my head are:

Most Outrageous Ship Photos
How scary is it when...
Sea Shepherd Peter Brown Is A... (just because it's true)
Best Captain's Quotes
Youngest Mariner Ever
Best Nautical Books for the Merchant Mariner

The post that give me the biggest smile are when the community is helping a new mariner.... just look at the profiles of Doug Pin, J.D.Cavo, OrdinarySeaman... and countless others.

The posts I enjoy the most are those on a simple topic where I learn something new. Just one of many examples in the recent post "Anchoring A Ship" and "The Huge Ship Light"

My all time favorite are the threads when Capt. Lee and Anchorman where working opposite tours on the same ship! The infamous Christmas Card stands out in my mind but there are countless others.

But, again, that is just off the top of my head. The truth is, there are too favorites for me to list.

I hate to burst your bubble, but I am going back to work this week and will not have any internet access, therefore your page count will be dropping about 250,000.
I hope I don't get to jittery not getting my GCaptain Fix. My girlfriend wants me to go back to surfing for porn as it took up less of my time then reading GCaptain does,

Greenhorn Jokes, The Master List
Or
Anything by Albert Pachino... he's funny!
