Hello Barrman,
For over 30 years I lived and worked in the
boating and watersports industry throughout the
Caribbean,
Bahamas,
Central America, and the red sea. I am still cruising and working along the way.
Here's what you do.
You must sell EVERYTHING. It has been my experience that people who put things in
storage will give up and go back. If you have nothing to go back to it will be easier to continue on.
Seasonal jobs abound but normally you will need a
work permit or work visa wherever you go except a U.S. Territory.
I have worked as a
scuba instructor, daysail
captain,
engineer on yachts, tourist submarines, glass bottom boats, underwater photographer,
movie extra, even as a wetsuit model. (true) Sportfishing
Captain, started a
sailing school and snorkel business, Owned my own
scuba business, and a bartender. Rented beach chairs and umbrellas, cleaned bathrooms and vacuumed floors.
I went to
compressor school to learn how to
repair dive compressors and did that and certified to
repair scuba
equipment and
tanks.
Just last year I helped convert a 115'
steel fishing vessel into a private yacht. 4 months work for me. I came in after it was started and stayed until the last day.
So. That's my 2 cents. Been there, done that. Still doing it.
We Travel with the Idea That If we have no schedule, we aren't late. If we don't care where we are, we aren't
lost. If we have no itinerary we're exactly where we ought to be. If we can't see it this trip, we'll see it next time.
