How to get experience so that I can escape?
Try this:
Take your $200K and put $190K in a one year CD.I thnk they pay a bit over 4.5% now Hold out $10K and buy a boat over 5GRT. Liveaboard, fix it, sail it, and have lots of fun. Make sure its the biggest piece of junk you can buy. When you peal off some paint docking, run aground, or even sink it you're bucks ahead plus have lots of OJT. Do three years of that and then self report your "sea service" as owner of a vessel over 5 GRT to qualify for your 50 GRT Master/100 ton Mate Near Coast license. Spend another 180 days working on the water then upgrade to 100 GRT Master. Go to the gulf and drive a crewboat around. Yo Ho Ho, there ya go mate. Within 360 days you may be looking at 200 Master/ 1600 mate. Sea ya down there. Bob |
