Exxon Valdez Grounding #2

Captain hired as crew

Hi all I don’t know if this is the right venue for this question; but I’m curious to hear the opinions of those on the thread. I have heard that if I am a licensed captain, that I am ultimately responsible for any vessel upon which I am a passenger; irrespective of my capacity on board. In this scenario, assume that this is a recreational vessel and that I am the only licensed person aboard. Has anyone else heard this? If not, is there, or could there be any truth to this? Thanks Corey Mitc…
