Eating a light breakfast. First day of new job! woohoo. let's goooo
Congrats and good luck. I saw in your profile it says you’re a yacht mechanic, seems like a fun job. Do they ever send a dedicated mechanic along for the ride when a yacht goes out on charter? That’d be a great thing to get in on if so
reply
This depends a lot on the size and purpose of the yacht. Larger yachts usually have a dedicated engineer, who isn't necessarily a mechanic, but should be. Mostly the answer is no :)

I think that’s a great skill set to have; I’ve been stranded on a boat several times and all I could do was let my dad beg the other boaters to tow us ashore
reply
Depending on what's wrong that might be your only option. I would recommend all recreational boaters have a tow service membership.
The best way to avoid such situations is installing and maintaining things properly. Most people procrastinate on boat maintenance.

It’s a tough sell - “boat” stands for “break out another thousand”
reply
well I got into this industry because I would eventually like to have a boat, and apparently the only way I'll afford that is by being able to maintain it myself
