Nah, he can take you for a motor...no sail endorsment :-)


You had better read up, little one, as you are
wrong. I need no sail endorsement to take
paying passengers out for a sail in my
blue water voyager, "Cut the Mustard".

Please consider the fact that my Coronado
is an uninspected passenger vessel and I am
a licensed Operator of Uninspected Passenger
Vessels as well as being a Master of inspected
passenger vessels.

Poor Oz- bitter and discourteous as well as
demonstrably ignorant. Tsk, tsk!

Even the yacht harbor water taxi's I've seen, won't hire anyone with less than
a 100 tn license. Your license is nothing, if you can't use it.

Congratulations. I guess nobody in the office (you use New Orleans?) reads
this
group!

BTW, did they raise your tonnage limit? For the 50+ ton licenses, they
usually
bump it up every renewal.

Not unless he can show time in the higher license ....which we know he can't

Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye. Hear ye, all my fellow
USCG licensed Masters.

This is to notify Misters Shen44, otnmbrd, Jeff Morris,
Rick, Joe, Schoonertrash, Fulmor and any other of my
fellow Masters who might be reading this announcement
that I am in possession of my renewed U.S. Merchant
Marine Officer license issued on 11 December, 2003.

Allow me to offer my congratulations!

How does your USCG Masters licence compare with the(Internationally
renowned) RYA Yachtmaster qualification?

Do I have to look *up* to you, or should I offer words of encouragement?


Regards

You can offer encouragement, but you'd be wasting your time.

Neal, don't try to talk about Merchant Marine Officers and licenses. You aren't
one, don't hold one, never have and never will, no matter what some piece of
paper says ....i.e., it's a subject, beyond your experience and comprehension.

Shen

Thank you. I think the U.S.C.G licenses rely more
on 'book' knowledge and less on a practical exam
as there is no practical exam at all out on a boat.

I would say the U.S.C.G. license is more geared
towards motor vessels and a master's responsibility
in regards to that. Safety of life at sea is a very
high priority. Being a Merchant Marine Officer
is not like being a sailing yachtsman at all.

While a sailing yachtsman is generally a better
seaman by virtue if his intimacy with the sea, the
Merchant Marine Officer is better versed in
the rules and regulations concerning running a
commercial ship and carrying passengers for
hire.

Here, folks, is an example of jealousy and lack of respect.
JN is no gentleman.

Lack of respect ..... probably. I admit it, I'm a cad.
No gentleman..... yur right, nope I ain't.
Jealous ..... of what? You only need that license if you intend to take
money for operating a vessel. I don't intend to so there's nothing for me
to be jealous about.

and anybody that's 5'3'' or taller can look down at the both of you.

Offer encouragement, his licence requires no examination of practical
skills NOR sailing!

It's a cruel world! ........ A beginner like me can look down on an expert
like the great Capt. Neal!

You should take a look at the Yachtmasters, it's far more demanding
than your silly little title.


No, it isn't.

That and $1.50 will get you on the subway.

Marine Officer license issued on 11 December, 2003.

For those who disrespect and disbelieve the number
on the document is 1045941. Expiration date is Dec.
11, 2008.

I wish to remind all those who claimed it would take
months to renew my license and possibly longer, I
wish to further remind those who claimed I was
incapable of submitting all paperwork in order and
I wish to remind all those who claimed the Coast
Guard was slow and inefficient that they were
wrong as usual.

The Coast Guard does a fine job and treats with
professional courtesy and respect those who
treat them the same.

Please note that it took less than a month between
the time I submitted my paperwork until I received
the renewed license document. This is probably due,
in part, because I treated the Officer in Charge of
Marine Inspection with courtesy and respect by
submitting my papers with everything in order and
no nits to pick. I made his job even easier by living
an exemplary life where any background checks
revealed a model citizen.

Merry Christmas to one and all from:

Capt. Neal
Master of Motor Vessels, Near Coastal
Operator Uninspected Passenger Vessels
