Re: the advantages of being a 100 ton captain

Not on the water today. It's blowing ~15-20 knots with rain inbound. It's been a really light winter so no matter what the next month or two is filled with, I'll take it.

Re: the advantages of being a 100 ton captain

On the sport fisher I work on my regular co-captain wasn't available so we got some walk on and he was terrible; guy hadn't been on a helm in a year and there's no way he had 720 days of sea time....

Re: the advantages of being a 100 ton captain

And having a hot wife is nice. :thumb:

Re: the advantages of being a 100 ton captain

There's certainly more going on than I know, but in general even the "professional" world only means you're (hopefully) good at what it is you specifically do. I never worked on catamarans much so...

Re: the advantages of being a 100 ton captain

Re: the advantages of being a 100 ton captain
