Nekton Pilot: I can't believe it. I only got home on Saturday and I'm not even unpacked yet. A friend send a job notice to me so I applied on Wednesday. Today I got a call and after a long discussion I was invited to visit the boat and crew of the Nekton Pilot. Its currently in dock in Ft. Lauderdale for a refit. I'll be going down to visit next week and if everything works out, I'll sail to Belize with them in a week or two. I try a week on the boat as an intern and it that works out, I'll start working full time on the boat. The current schedule is 8 weeks on and 3 weeks off so I'd commute back and forth every two months.
Gerri is okay with this so far and both of us are excited about the opportunity. There are still a million details to work but this sounds too good to be true. I thought I'd wait around for months before getting an offer from some resort or dive shop. Working on a boat sounds like a dream come true to me. The hours are long and the work can be demanding but living on the sea in the tropics can't be all bad.
More to come.
