Captain Bob,

What can I say, you’re the best! The best teacher, the best cook, the best Cabin boy. I’m so honored to have been your first female solo student in your 10 year history. My reason to attend Trawler school was that I’ll be cruising on my boyfriends new trawler. I’m leaving to go on a rip-roaring adventure on the cold and stormy North Sea in Scotland next week. I am so excited! I just do not want to be a passenger but an active shipmate, your lessons will do just that. Loved my engine class, anchoring, electrical, navigation, rules of the road, tying knot’s, woman overboard drill, I saved “Wilma” yahoo, and last but not least docking lessons blindfolded on my last try. Never put a scratch on your vessel. The Miami Mermaid was very, very clean and how respectful and professional you were. I enjoyed the experience more than I ever could have anticipated. Maybe we will see you cruise in the North Sea.

Always Ginger
