We just had a seriously bad experience with an exchange student who came
to
us writing that she had a Spanish Professional Skipper Licence.
It showed she had never sailed before, not telling us about it, had
gotten
thelicence together with her university degree as marine biologist and
fell
asleep during an anchor watch.
Result 3000 Euro worth of damages.

That sounds dreadful. Was the skipper punished?

It's very difficult to get a competent skipper nowadays.
