Good point Don about Bridge tenders , etc.. I always feel a little awkward when we have passed through a bridge opening and want to thank the tender. Cap'n or Skipper or such seems respectful- provided it's not an "Admiral"!

*In the military if we were addressing a female sargent, we would say, "yes sargent".* If she was an officer it was, "yes ma'am".* Does that work today?
