John had just decided that he must find and install exactly that kind of chandelier on his bridge when Captain Curtis walked in.
They shook hands,
"Captain Curtis, the pleasure is mine. Thank you again for the invitation and creation of this wonderful place. Yes, indeed, it seems that for now we are the first, although I'm quite sure others will arrive as soon as they find it possible. Though I think you will find it difficult to keep the purpose of such large and luxurious premises secret form general public, especially considering that "secret" on Curacao usually means that is on the third page of local newspaper, rather than on first," John said as they were siting down at a table.
"I think we shall wait for rest of captains to arrive before we begin to discuss any business matters. Though, one idea I have in mind. How do you think, would it be possible to set up a central transmission and report server somewhere here in Lounge? There had been more than one occasion when I've wanted to report certain incidents that may be helpful to other captains, yet transmitting them separately to each vessel is rather difficult and inefficient. With central server, reports could be sent to it and then distributed to or downloaded by interested parties at their convenient time."
