This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'm sure this is not a new thing, but I just found out about it, and I think it's pretty neat!

My boat to Santorini was cancelled and I had to show the local office my proof on www.vesselfinder.com before they would believe me and helped me reschedule.

The were talking about a normal minor delay but the ship was still in port, 3 hours away.

There are some really cool ships sailing around the Mediterranean.

Just look at Club Med 2

These are some of the most bizarre typos I have ever seen. Cool comment though.

They're probably Dutch. Schip is Dutch for ship.

Oh ok. Makes sense.

My autocarrot started changing English to Dutch indeed.

What a blast from the past!!!!! I worked on that ship for 4.5 months back in 2003 when it was the MSY Windsurf. Played the piano in the Lounge. Thanks for the smiles my friend!!! :)

We were driving to Katapola and saw these 5 masts appear. Never expected to see this beauty on Amorgos.
