We put this first photo up on the gCaptain Facebook page yesterday as a “caption this” and it was such at hit, that we thought we’d provide a little bit of backstory.
The photo was taken recently at an anchorage in Long Beach when harbor police found a half naked man standing on the rudder of the Chevron oil taker MT Altair Voyager. And if you were wondering, no, the man was not a member of the crew.
Here are some more pics:
No word on how the man got there or what he was doing, leaving oh so many unanswered questions…
PS – Winner of the “caption this” by popular demand went to “I’d rudder be somewhere else” submitted by Jose Viso.
