wolfcathorse Posted March 6, 2013 Author #1151 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Capt Bang is retired. So sad since he was our most favorite Captain! We wish him the very best in this new phase of his life's journey:):):) yeah, I knew it but D didn't want me saying. Just saying, it was her right to announce it, not mine.

rccruisers Posted March 6, 2013 #1152 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Wolf, my prayers are with you. Bobbie's dad died Sunday morning, so finally an end to all that was a total burden on many for the past 3 years. He is in a better place, now we just have to hope that her Mom can find some sort of life, so she doesn't follow him. Tough times for our family right now. We have 41 days to get it under control, before we leave on the Vision. Rick PS Glad to see that Per is back!;) Rick, I am so sorry to hear that Bobbie's Dad passed away on Sunday. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candleonwater Posted March 7, 2013 #1153 Share Posted March 7, 2013 How long do rotations last? Was hoping we would see Capt Gus, but I'm guessing not?!?!?! What's McDuff like? Enchantment OTS - Capt Shawn McDuff (started rotation 2-16-13)Enchantment OTS - Capt Gus Andersson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted March 7, 2013 #1154 Share Posted March 7, 2013 How long do rotations last? Was hoping we would see Capt Gus, but I'm guessing not?!?!?! What's McDuff like? I'm pretty sure Captain Gus is only returning for the Enchantment's final departure from Baltimore I have no first hand of Capt McDuff, but he does come from a very similar background as Capt. Gus. I know one was staff Captain for the Oasis new build and the other had the same role for Allure. No guarantee but I see the similarity of the 2 backgrounds as a positive sign.

Clarea Posted March 7, 2013 #1155 Share Posted March 7, 2013 How long do rotations last? Was hoping we would see Capt Gus, but I'm guessing not?!?!?! What's McDuff like? Rotations are usually 10 weeks on and 10 weeks off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcathorse Posted March 7, 2013 Author #1156 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I've sailed with Capt McDuff when he was Stf Cpt on Majesty and he's jovial outgoing knowledgeable...just plain friendly and wonderful. You'll like him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipLondon Posted March 7, 2013 #1157 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Totally right, I think a few of us were aware of the change of situation with Captain Bang, but did not talk about it out of respect. He was great Captain and will be missed by many, but we hope he enjoys his well deserved retirement. A really nice man, we enjoyed many hours with him and Darlene his lovely wife over the years, although her shopping tips cost me a lot in many ports. Good times :D yeah, I knew it but D didn't want me saying. Just saying, it was her right to announce it, not mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkshire Voyagers Posted March 7, 2013 #1159 Share Posted March 7, 2013 . He was great Captain and will be missed by many, but we hope he enjoys his well deserved retirement.

Cruisin' Again 86 Posted March 7, 2013 #1160 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Allure 5-19-13 Captain Johnny ? or Tommy ? Both great captains, just wondering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcathorse Posted March 7, 2013 Author #1161 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Allure 5-19-13 Captain Johnny ? or Tommy ? Both great captains' date=' just wondering...[/quote'] start counting 10 weeks from 1-13-13...so end of March Johnny should be going off (he preferred 11 week rotations so don't know if he's keeping to 11 weeks or 10 weeks). So half way thru June, Johnny should be coming back on. So for 5-19-13 you should be having Capt Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
