Default Need Florida Sea Time

I have no intention of doing what "most paper captains do" and that's
why I'm posting this request.

I already have quite a bit of sea time outside of COLREGs. I will also
have my own boat in Florida in March and could just spend the two weeks
on it to get the extra time I need for the license.

I'm just wondering if there might be some kind of temporary job down
there, someone I could actually learn something from rather than just
going up and down the Waterway. Maybe there isn't.....








In WPB you might try Sea Tow or Tow Boat US. Other than that there are a couple
of harbor pilot boats from the Port of Palm Beach (unlikely), a water taxi and
a few of dozen charter boats. The charter boats would only be looking for
experienced fishermen and I would think would also be a long shot. The water
taxi runs out of the Sailfish Marina. That might be a shot. Not much to do
around here for a professional captain unless you run a private yacht.
