Thank you for that.

And my "story" is completely true, I can probably find the exact
date and time it happened.

I have no doubt that it is - you have admitted enough damning facts to show
you are not fazed to admit the truth even when it makes you look foolish,
which you were. In particular to venture where you did in an unsuitable
vessel. Good seamanship includes expecting the worst and to prepare
accordingly.

Forget the idea of forged documents - that was a reprehensible notion,
instead take a course because what you don't know WILL hurt you, and your
family.

Good luck,

BrianH.
