I was unable to sit for the test before breaking my back on board one of our tankers. I am unable to pass the physical requirement needed for someone in that position, but have a passion for the sea and my work on it. Looking to be able to continue my career somewhere some how. Small boat operator would be perfect.

Some College, mostly pertaining to the Maritime industry
Certification
All of them... Ok at least all the ones required for my 3rd Mates unlimited
Skils
Enjoy sleep depervation, never say I can't, and don't know how to quit.
I am looking to give what I have left to a company that needs good smart, hard working people, and doesn't mind the fact that I have a back that isn't the best now. My small boat handling skills are top notch. Willing to relocate anywhere.
