I have to take a deep breath
and count down slowly from a pretty big number to keep from screaming
when I hear that Skip is getting a USCG license, but he's cruising.

Skippy is obviously lying about his hours if he is serious about going
for a
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. Probably lacks the
hours nearshore and inshore as well. But I've demonstrated with facts
that's
he's lied about several things so far so I wouldn't put it past him to
falsify his documented time at the helm in order to cheat his way into a
license that he's totally unqualified for . . .

Dear Skip and Willlburr,

Get your terms correct. Skip......... Its not a "USCG Commercial
LIcnese" its called a "Master License" or "Operator" as in OUPV.

Its not called "offshore." The correct terms are "Oceans" or "Near
Coast" or "Beond the Boundry"

So what does Skip need to be a Captain?

RECENCY - (46 CFR 10.202(e)) - 90 days in the last 3 years.

OPERATOR OF UNINSPECTED PASSENGER VESSELS - (46 CFR 10.467)
A. Near Coastal - 360 days deck service INCLUDING
1. 90 days service on oceans or near coastal waters.
B. Inland - 360 days of deck service.
C. Great Lakes - 360 days deck service INCLUDING
1. 90 days service on Great Lakes

The Master 25-100 grt is about the same except slightly different
tests and more days sea service.

For ALL licenses under 200 grt a person can self certify their
qualifying Sea Service
(Small Vessel Sea Service Form [CG-719S]) if ya own a the vessel. In
other words Skip can say he has 360 days underway and fill out a form.
That is all the proof needed to qualify to sit for a paper and pencil
tests. Once you pass the tests you are a Captain !

I hope Skip learns to use the correct term when is one.

You left out one thing... Neal should simply F.O.A.D.
