Once again I’ve been bad about updating the blog but after staying in one spot for 3 months, I don’t feel as if I’m cruising anymore but rather just working! I got a job in the sail loft down here and love it. Not a big fan of sewing but love learning the trade. The biggest news is that I went back and got my Captain’s license. I passed all my exams last week and plan on sending in my paperwork this week. I’ll definitely get what they call the “6 pack” which means I can up to 6 paying customers out on a boat. I also passed the Master’s tests and will be given a 50 or 100ton license. Since most of my time at sea was on my 37 footer, I think I’ll most likely get the 50ton. That means I can take a 50ton vessel out with as many passengers as its capacity states. Not sure what I’ll do with it but time will tell.
The other big news is that I have a broker coming out this week to take pics and list the boat. Not sure if it’ll sell fast or not but I have friends that sold their 34 foot sailboat in 3 weeks. If it sells, I’m going to try to get on a megayacht for the summer and go to the Med. If it doesn’t sell, I’ll be heading North looking for jobs somewhere out of the way of the hurricanes.
So with that said, all you deadbeats who said you’d visit and never showed up better hurry, not sure how much longer I’ll be living this lifestyle!
Dan (well….Captain Dan I guess!)
