Skippy is obviously lying about his hours if he is serious about going for

USCG license. Last time I looked he's gonna need a couple hundred hours
offshore and we all know he's got nowheres near that.

A near shore/inland OUPV requires no offshore experience at all, and
the USCG definition of offshore is anything outside the COLREGS line.
It *is* a requirement to document 360 days "underway" which means a
minimum of 4 hours per day actually moving, not anchored or tied to a
dock. Most people would need at least two or three years of cruising
to qualify under that definition, probably more.



Something Neal obviously doesn't have... and never will.
