Description	(5:25 min.) (07 of 28) 7. Across the Atlantic Georgetown, French Guyana was the next stop, not Africa. The ship was zigzagging; the Captain and First Mate would open orders each day and set a new course. On board was a Pan Am navigator; he told the crew the ship's position each day. The captain questioned him and found him to be within three miles of actual location, so the Captain gave him permission to be on the bridge.
