John,
Was merely an observation of whats happening around the world,and following this and other sites for many years.
Of course there are thousands of good sailors,lets hope the quantity of bad sailors is not as large!
And yes many more and larger ships sail the oceans then in my day.
And with all that has come an ever increasing need for sailors to be better educated.
The question remains:Are they?
Kids at school do all the work on computers and calculators,when last have you seen a kid whom is capable of adding and subtracting without a calculator?
That is my view,no disrespect to any sailor.
Just saying.
Gerry
