Joe,

He took delivery on his boat this past summer and started his wandering.
He was going to cruise the Great Lakes but changed his plans and headed
th Mexico with the intensions of going south???

Haven't heard anything about him since last Summer.

Don't know Mike, but I am a former Merchant Marine 3rd Mate. You do
not sit for an AB's ticket. Take some courses, a couple of test and do
your time.
You sit for the 3rd mates lic. The test takes 5 days and it is a
bitch, hince sitting for your ticket. The test involves Rules of the
Road, Navigation, Ships construction, boom cargo load and everything
in between. I sailed as a AB for 3 years, went to school at Seaman
Churches School of Seamanship, (no longer a school), than sat for my
ticket twice. Failed the navigation part, took the test a couple month
later, only having to do the Navigation part of the test.
Best job I ever had!!!!! Sailed for another 10 years, until I got
tired of coming home and checking to see if the toilet seat was up.
