And as being one of the only one here minding my P & Q's hearing this my answer to the 1st mate would have been 2 by the mark.
Don't you agree?

Remember this:
1 foot = 1/6 of a fathom
1 fathon = 6 feet or two yards
1 shot =15 fathoms or 90 feet
so 1 shot =90 feet white marking
blue =
yellow =
green =
red =
Sorry Bosun, I done a bad......hit a wrong button! Fortunately, I still had the post open in another browser window so I could copy it here, but now it's got my name on it!!
You can make a new post with your stuff in it and then delete this one if you want.
