Even to get your AB you have to enroll in maritime classes or “school” same with license upgrades.
Just because your shitty employer (and probably the only company you’ve worked for) doesn’t hire internally for officers, doesn’t mean shit.
Now if you’re talking 1600 ton masters, then I’d agree hawsepiping is dead. Fuck that shit anyway and those most those maritime yuppies. I’ve sailed for some good mates with unlimited licenses that came from cal maritime. Could calmly land a barge in fucking gales in low tide. He just got tired of the 4 month hitches at Maersk.
Also, I was simply sharing a photo, since you work “deep sea” and ain’t supplying any quality OC.
Let’s see those pics brother.
>>1447376I’d recommend him checking out a used boat at a dealership. You can finance a boat like a fucking mortgage, pretty cheap monthly payments, and all trade ins are inspected. I’d recommend an outboard if you’re putting it in salt water. In boards and I/O/ get eaten from the inside out if you drop em in the sea.
