Hi Captain Bob,<\/p>\n
After serving 27 years in the US Coast Guard as an engineer, split between sea duty and marine safety from the east, west, and Gulf coasts, including two years in Vietnam, I retired as a CW04 in my home state of Florida. The very next day I took a position as a port engineer with internal ship management, managing sulfur ships, grain ships, and ocean going tugs & barges. After 22 years with the company as VP I am \u201csemi-retired.\u201d<\/p>\n
My wife and I are both native Floridians and love the water where we seem to be spending more and more time; with that in mind our interest has turned to larger vessels such as trawlers. After surfing the internet and reading various boat magazines we discovered \u201cCaptain Bob\u2019s Trawler School Charters\u201d which has turned out to be a week of learning, \u201cby hands on experience,\u201d beautiful scenery, enjoyable company, and great food.<\/p>\n
Capt. Bob splits education between classes and hands on- with time for relaxing stops at such places as \u201cBoca Chita Island\u201d I did not know such places existed.<\/p>\n
Capt. Bob passes on his experience and knowledge in navigation and boat handling in a very understandable manner. The experience you gain in docking a single screw vessel will be a valuable asset in your future. And, don\u2019t be surprised if you gain a few pounds from \u201ccabin boy\u201d Bob\u2019s chef capabilities. After watching Capt. Bob eyeing my intrinsically safe flash light during the voyage, I left it among his various gadgets.<\/p>\n
Capt. Bob, Thanks for a wonderful week. In addition to the operational skills learned we appreciated the knowledge passed on in the ABC\u2019s of Trawlers- good luck with your hip.<\/p>\n
