The HMS Bounty is an “attraction vessel” and over 200 grt. It is also a ship rig so you get good square sail experience. Pay is crap but it isn’t difficult to get a paid spot on there. (Or wasn’t 7 years ago…)

[QUOTE=jdcavo;60735]From about 30 seconds with Google:

“Sea Lawyer: An argumentative, cantankerous or know-it-all sailor. A sea lawyer is adept at using technicalities, half truths, and administrative crap to get out of doing work or anything else he doesn’t want to do, and/or to justify his laziness.”

“a contentious sailor, who habitually argues, questions orders and regulations, etc.”

Although it’s about sea lawyers in the USMC, here’s a good explanation:

Thanks, but I still don’t get it. This is a message board, not a ship. I freely admit I don’t know much. That’s why I’m asking questions here. Again, I’m sorry if I offended anyone.
