I was about to post that in the Mildly Amusing thread.

First of all this guy appears to have really screwed up the navigation in some of the best charted waters in the world in a ship with all the modern wizz-bang gizmos.

Then - maybe this is a second-language issue - he mentioned "a rock collided with our ship". ORLY? How fast was the rock going?

Then he went from "we were the last to leave" to "I WAS co-ordinating - from the lifeboat".

Yesterday, the ship had lurched violently and tipped them into the sea.

Now he "tripped and fell ... right into a lifeboat"

You, captain, are NO CAPTAIN.

The deaths aren't funny, but this captain sure is. How in the heck did they hire him? Where did they find him?

It's machismo. Not uncommon in those parts.

Hey, I'm a big important man. I'm going to ignore those pesky rules for wimps and bring my ship in close to the shore so I can impress my buds.

So you say we scraped bottom a little bit? It's just a little flesh wound. Get me my dinner and drinks. Can't you see I have a woman here?

My only wonder is when he went from full blown machismo mode to realizing the shit had hit the fan and he transitioned into whimpering baby mode.

His godfather did a favor for the ship's owner.

More or less at the same time he soiled his pants and started crying "Mommy!"
