How involved is the process? Do they license you for a certain size or length?

It's involved Hi. I took the chart plotting course years ago.

I believe they have different levels of the length of boat you can Captain. It's been awhile . I have to check into it .

 

[Floorist]

47 degrees in Phoenix and my wife's niece thinks it is cold.

 

[Jon]

I might go for my Captains license this summer. See if i can drum up some business delivering Yachts .

But would they trust you with that?
It would be no good for you as there isn't a golf course on it
I started going for my coastal navigation course a few years ago and it got too hard. How much water beside a wharf at a certain time of the day?
I wasn't driving the Queen Mary I had a 22ft 6 inch cabin boat with a 6 cylinder Volvo with a stern leg. I just looked over the side to see how deep it was

 

[Nick]

I have a trusting face , it's up to them to find me .

The chart plotting course was a hump. Had to navigate around Kenny Bunkport

Be at certain way points at certain times . Had to take into to account , current, speed , drift . wind . [etc].

Do you need a license to pilot your yacht Nick?

 

[Nick]

I wish i had one ! a 90' Sail boat will do just fine .

 

[Ernesto]

I finally finished a 1500sf hallmark engineered floater. This thin 3/8" x 6" x Rl white oak went together like icing on cake. And it wasn't even kerfed.
I'm hiding out until after Christmas then start Kahrs job.

Do you need a license to pilot your yacht Nick?

Nick could have driven this out tonight
I should have been on the ship as Auckland has a real neat harbour

 

[Nick]

Nice Jon, I need a cruse to get away from this cold .

 

[Jon]

Here are a couple when we were there a couple of years ago on a cruise ship

 

[Nick]

Beautiful Jon. If it has a gas pedal , and steering wheel i can drive it .

 

[Jon]

It lost its link to the video
It wasn't good weather down there today
I feel for the tourists who have travel miles to get bad weather
Its meant to be summer here

 

[Nick]

Link is working Jon.

 

[Hardwood]

I've been sewing Christmas gifts for granddaughters and friends.

 

[havasu]

I attended the third of six back to back Christmas parties last night. My G/F loves it because I am always the designated driver for her, so she can enjoy a few glasses of her favorite wine. Since my G/F's husband (and my best friend) was killed by a drunk driver, we take drinking and driving seriously.

Speaking of, the idiot who killed her husband pled guilty to 2nd degree murder for killing him. He took a plea to stay in custody for 15 years, with no chance of early release. He was convicted in early 2011 and we just received word last week that he has been released from prison, after being behind bars for only 5 years. Thank you Governor Brown and this left wing, Killary loving, liberal state of Kommiefornia.

 

[Jon]

The ship pulled into Wellington today through the Cook Straight
It gets real rough through this bit of water that seperates the two islands of NZ
