Not really a question, more a thank you. Starting an engine cadetship with the really big container company in September, and your AMA made for a very interesting read.

Wait, actually, I do have a question. What do you deck guys actually do all day when you're at sea? There's only so many times you can look at a radar screen and see that there's still nothing there. Is the rest of your time spent staring at the horizon or what?

No ribbing, just curious.

EDIT - A word. Thanks for the heads-up OP!

Got a link? I'm curious.

What gave you the idea to put people's ashes into glass? I found it freaky enough when my dog was in a cupboard before we sprinkled her in her favourite park, so I can't imagine using Mum as a desk ornament... (Probably because she isn't dead yet!)

As a side-note, I used to go past some glassblowers on my way back from school, and they had an open door and a viewing gallery where Sweaty Joe Public could go and watch. Mesmerising isn't the word, it's wizardry what you guys can do with that glass!

artfulashes.com seems to be in the throes of a Reddit Hug, I'll check it out later!
