In reply to Heather. I feel the same way! I think I could do anything... for a few months :) A year shows some serious dedication and tenacity!

I’ve considered working on a boat, this interview really laid everything out! I love Nadia’s honesty. What a tough job, and what wonderful rewards. I’m not sure if it’s something I’d consider for a *year*, but it’s something I’d consider for a few months for sure!

Good question from The Guy. The boat was licensed and registered but to a country with very lenient safety standards. There were safety devices but they certainly lacked when compared to US standards. All was legal and in compliance but the emphasis, as with most businesses, was making money. All captains held US Coast Guard licenses and they contributed (or negatively affected) the safety of each trip. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of an excellent captain…

In reply to The Guy. Sadly though, many people seem to have that impression about blogging and I am often left scratching my head, unsure how to answer the many questions I field on the topic.

In reply to Dad.

That’s a great point about future employers, never thought of it that way. As mom once told me — “You have to remember that your employers are renting your time.”
