Preamble:
As with most exams, it has become a bit of a blur.
Capt. Leggett did his best to put me at ease by asking some informal questions.
The questions asked may seem simple, but I did my best to answer from the perspective of the
Master and bring in my knowledge of rules and regulations for an unlimited ticket. Whenever I
was on the right track, he moved onto something else. If the question was a bit vague, he
pointed me in the direction to answer.
