Never do this as OOW! BNWAS - Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System

BNWAS - Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System.

Never do this as OOW.

There was a unforgetable moment but somewhat funny happened previously. The OOW in the open sea was alone in the bridge while his AB look-out was on the bridge wings. The call of nature has forced him to went in the toilet without pressing the BNWAS reset button first. Unfortunately, the BNWAS sounded but the OOW didn't notice it and he has to finish the call of nature because he has not feeling well of his stomach. The alarm sounded to the other OOW was on main deck and sounded to the Master Cabin. Everybody rushed to the bridge to know what happened. Then the OOW came out from the toilet and everybody can't help but laughing. The OOW was instructed to never do it again. Ask help if needed or reset the BNWAS button first before going to the toilet.

My Own Nissan Navara Story

My own Nissan Navara Story.

When I was a kid born in the year 1979, I love making toys like trucks and cars. My late father's two carabaos were our means of transportation and carriage of heavy cargoes. As I grew, I wish to ride on a truck, car and bus. I rode only on my father's carabao as there was no other means in our barangay. I studied elementary by walking everyday about 4 km and in high school about 7 km away from our home. After I graduated from college in the year 1999 I work, work and work. I got my driver's licence in the year 2002. Work, work and work. I got my first motorcycle in the year 2007. I got married in Year 2008. Work, work and work. Our 1st baby boy was born, bought a house and a small 4x2 truck in the year 2010. I traded-in our 1st truck with the same small truck but a 4x4 MT. Our 2nd baby boy was born and bought a small car in the year 2013. Work, work and work. We decided to buy MPV for our family escapade vehicle. Work, work and work. The small car being sold and bought a Nissan Navara Model 2020 2.5L VL 4WD MT in the year 2021. I decided to have the last model rather than the all new face of 2021 model for the reasons that I believed all the previous issues of the last model were all rectified and addressed. I claimed to be the first Nissan Navara 4WD MT owner in the barangay where I was born. Even if we are living in the city I chose the 4WD for our goals to go anywhere. My wife didnt allow me to buy a motorcycle anymore due to the high risks on the road and she said it doesn't matter what I will do to the Navara. So, I did the power upgrades of 2" body lift, 2" suspension lift, tires/mags 315/70/R17, front and rear steel bumpers, customize stainless steel rollbars, customized stainless steel roof rack and other body kits and accessories. Our family travelled a lot of places with the Navara by land and sea transfers. We are using our Navara for business and travels.
