Hey Rick,
Have a nice day!

Thank you, I am. My lovely restored tug is a pleasure to work on with
all its fine wood and polished brass fixtures.

My seagoing employment allows me to take extended periods off and since
I just finished a nice recreational cruise in the San Juan Islands and a
jaunt around Southeast Alaska's inside passage I am very happy to stay
ashore and work on my boat. Every day here is a nice day.

I hope that your blood pressure doesn't stay high for so long you cannot
renew that little "license" you take such pleasure in waving around.
Judging by your last post it must be on the increase ... you really do
need to learn better coping skills. Real mariners simply take such
things in stride unlike landsmen such as yourself.

To be honest though, it doesn't really matter if you can renew that
piece of paper anyway. It has no less value expired. By itself it is
simply a piece of paper. It is the list of other certifications,
qualifications, and experience that you LACK that define you as merely
another internet wannabe.

25 ton MOTORBOAT "master" ... Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Whats'a matter? Couldn't come up with the sail-ing time or couldn't pass
the test?

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
