| Ivo, you pose a lot of questions like this one. But I do not understand what it is exactly that you want to hear. You have found a good definition of the expression, and it fits in well; so you already know all there is to know about your quote. How can we help you when you already have the answer? |

| Right. Well it is pretty close? A berth is here a position or job, so he found a good job. It will probably pay well too, though I suppose that doesn't strictly follow. |

Hi Cerberus,
Thank you for your backing.
There is another similar expression " to find a snug birth" -----------------------------------------------------------
