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! S.Simon 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. |

Subject: Professional Courtesy and Respect
From: "Jeff Morris" Date: 12/22/2003 14:59 Pacific Standard Time Message-id: 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. -jeff Not unless he can show time in the higher license ....which we know he can't |

ubject: Professional Courtesy and Respect
From: "Simple Simon" 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.

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. |

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? 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.
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. 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 |

Your license is nothing, if you can't use it. Lots of fishing outfits in the gulf hire 25gters to run party boats. Why a water taxi would need a 100 ton captian is beyond me. Must be a supply and demand thing. Joe |
