2. What is the meaning of my blog name?
OK, I am a little late with this post, I was out & about all day yesterday!! … which brings me to the meaning behind the title of my Blog: Jaks Tight Ship … this is apt because that is exactly how I have to run things in order to get everything done … I have a lot of committments & things run in order of priority (urgent to well … less urgent).
But it is true, sometimes our crew aren’t always ‘on board’ or obliging, therefore the ship can run a little off course, so it takes a well crafted skipper to realign a ship in rough (busy) conditions … and although I am unsure as to whether or not MNZ will issue me with a ‘Foreign Seagoing Masters’ license & I seem to be running my ship on just a ‘Day Skippers’ certificate, some days our ship sails in the right course & its all smooth sailing …
Sorry for the analogy, I just couldnt think of any other way to describe our life: … Jaks Tight Ship! … but do not fear, periodically the ship is ‘dry-docked’ and then the fun & spontaniety begins … and life is grand!
