50GT here with sailing and towing endorsements.



Argg since we are hanging our peckers out for all to gaze:


LIVE FROM FOUCHON LOUISIANA

100 grt/200 grt Near Coast
AB Unlimited, RFPNW

Next stop 1600 GRT Mate

Its pretty knarly in the oilpatch i get to tie-up the boat (900+GRT/
180+') using 3" nylon..... try humping that around n tossing an eye
over a bit.... Argg...!

What can you do with a OUPV? not much get the Master License its only
a day or two longer and then you can be a crewboat Captain like whats
his name of the SUNK Red Clown..... Hell you can get your MMC and go
work for a living
Bob



Unless you have an inspected vessel or serve on one, the OUPV is totally
adequate for teaching sailing, which is what the question was about. It
doesn't matter what license you have if you teach on an uninspected vessel.
You're limited by the 6-pack restrictions.

I would take the course if one were offered near me just to gain the
information. Self study isn't always good enough because you don't know
what to study.


Legal: in theory, you will have more expertise than others so in some
instances you can't plead ignorance.


No argument about that...


I started out with a Coast Guard ticket in the mid '70s while on
active duty in the Navy.


In the last year I've taken most of the ASA classes.
My next step with ASA is an instructor rating .


I was thinking about the 6pack course to get a Captains ticket,
but I don't really need it for what I'm doing.


It is not needed to teach through ASA.


Still considering it, but will probably pass this time.
Maybe some day though...


But I'm curious how many of our local experts have a Captains license?
Or even training from a school like ASA?


Richard


Most schools, either ASA or USSailing, will require a CG license if you're
teaching on a boat with an engine.


50GT here with sailing and towing endorsements.
now is that INLAND or NEAR COAST?


So ya lied on the Small Service Form about all that time on your 29'
sailboat???? Good-on!
Lets see, "... a day over 5 GRT will get you 50 ton.


BOb


?? Are you playing dumb?



He's not playing...

Joe


You answered your question yourself. I have a 50GT
inland and an OUPV Near Coastal. FYI, it's a 30'.

*Hey Bob..I saw you attacking Rob's wife.. Are you like that fellow

NOt sure what youre taking about Joe. Everyone on the boat watches FOX
News... i dont watch that crap. so im a bit behind in the sinsational
news.


Seems like it to me..... I mean why would you attack a woman you do
not know? Did it make you feel more manly?. You define "chicken****"
and "douchbag" IMO.



Huh? Still dont know what youre talking about...........


*I doubt anyone will turn a boat over to you. If you just got an
unlimited AB you have a very long road ahead, 3+ years underway for a
1600 masters. Thats going to take you 6 years most likely.


Never said I wanted to get a 1600 master let alone drvie one. Besides
life in bayou sucks. It sucked in 1980-84 when I was diving down here.
the only diffrence is im not getting served before a nive black lady
infornt of me at a grocery store.


* You are crying like a little baby tossing 3" lines...ya will never
make it "Slave"/green horn.


To be honest Joe, I think youre memory is waning. Looking at the
Seacor Fast XXXXX that just tied up a few feet away uses somthing much
lighter. Ill go ask after this but it looks like 2" or maybe 1 1/2"


A crew boat would beat you to death.
Sheeze you're not able to toss a 3"nylon or poly line with out crying
about it. *


NOpe just do it.

Crewboats take more skill and agility to run than any other
type of boats in the field no, you will be up against 20 and 30 yo
Captns with more time in the field.


Okay Joe here is what Ive been told every step of the way............

DONT get on a 100 ton boat. that is were all the loosers go who cant
do anything else. The deck hands dont evern need a MMC. The walk off
the street cause they got fired from Burger King.

Now for the operators....... they do enough time on deck to attend a
master prep school down in the bayou where teh questions are READ to
the guys cause most cant read!

Now let me tell ya about the fat ignorant ****s that work on 100 ton
boats. I spent 3 weeks on two diffrent 100 ton utilitiy boats and
never met such a bunch of morbidly obease functionally illerate bozos
in all my life.

We got an "enjuneer" over here for a couple weeks. He wipped his ass
with paper towls and tossed it in the trash container in the head. I
just couldnt figure out why it always stunk like **** in the
heads.....

The same enjuneer saw me flossing my teeth on deck while enjoying a
sun rise. He said, wut u doin? I said flossing. he had no idea what
floss was........ Gods absolute truth ! so sad but so obvious when you
look at the 342 lb guy with 8 teeth.


* A little douchbag like you who thinks it's funny when a person loses
a boat will get what you deserve at sea.



I dont think its funny. Its terrible waste of a boat. Im just shocked
at the arrogance and pride those knuckle heads have. trust me, it
takes a lot more skill sailing a sailboat safely and effectlly
compared to some coonass or fat ass texan driving a crewboat.


I've know a dozen Captains
that have lost boats, crew members, and have had very serious
injuries.


I rest my case !
Ive watched dozens of captains opperate down here and there is a
systemic lack of seamanship and professionalism.


None of it is a joke, it is part of the job.. Only a stupid
greenhorn, asshole, know it all, like you thinks it's funny.


Not funny Joe............................ sad.


Again..what comes around will go around.

*Most likely you are a liar and have never set foot on any anchor
boat, we all know you use a sock puppet to hide behind, because you
are not man enough to be real.


Stay behind momma's skirt "Bob" you can not handle the real world.


Joe its pretty easy to suceed here. Im way over 50 years old out
worked every 20-30 year old ive worked with so far. They are all fat
and smoke. The ones who arent fat smoke and simply lack any work
ethic.

Pro: You're bound to learn something worth knowing in preparing for the
test.


Con: What the Government giveth, the Government can taketh away. And
being
a "Professional" carries an extra load of responsibility should the fan
go
"splat!"


Alternative: Take the course, refuse the license.

This is basically correct.


Additional pros.. personal satisfaction, if you desire to teach through a
reputable program, you will almost certainly be required to have the
minimum
license (OUPV = Six pack).


Additional con.. there are costs associated with getting a license, e.g..,
the TWIC card (~$135/5 yrs.) and CG licensing fees ($200 one-time, then a
renewal every 5 years of less than that), not to mention insurance cost
difference. Oh, and there's a diff in the legal alcohol limit.


And dont for get the physical $100+
and the DOT drug test
and mmd now called a MMCredential optional but why not which will have
your Master/OICNW STCW. bla bla bla
and ....


Typically, most health insurance programs cover an annual physical. (You
need a hearing and eye test also, btw.) The drug test is via an approved
facility or you can get a Maritime Consortium card if your employer offers
it (in that case no cost, since the employer pays). Of course, you're right.
For higher licenses there are higher costs.

Too bad about the "new" credential. I hadn't heard that. The good news is
that you get to keep your old license document to hang on the wall. The new
one will make it easier to carry the license with you (the original, not a
copy).

Ya, they look pretty cool.
Oh well..........
