On January 2006 I embarked for Japan to receive a new tanker, which had been commissioned by Soponata but was delivered to General Maritime, since they had absorbed Soponata. It was one of my professional dreams of to take part in the recepti- on of a new ship: to oversee the end of its construction, to do all the trials at sea, and to take it out on its maiden voyage. Added to this there was my lifelong dream of visiting Japan, a cul- ture that has always fascinated me. On the 21st of January 2006 I embarked for Nagoya. I was shaking with fever, hiding what was almost a pneumonia, but I was not about to give up on these dreams. The rest of the story I'll try to tell you through the photos on the following pages. Today my only regret is not having taken three times more pictures.

Nautical Almanac (2010)
For over 150 years the United States Nautical Almanac Office has published The Nautical Almanac, first as part of the American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac, and then on its own, to provide the US Navy with a convenient form of the astronomical data used for celestial navigation. This book is still the standard resource for marine celestial navigation for the U.S. Navy. The Nautical Almanac provides essential astronomical information for every kind of sea-going vessel, from cruise liners to fishing boats. It is fully comprehensive, containing a set of concise sight reduction tables for the navigator, together with all the necessary information needed for use in determining the position at sea from sextant observations. Nautical Almanac is essential for astro-navigation and used by many astro-teaching courses.
