I know nothing about boats but I learn fast and never forget.
I’m willing to do the jobs no one else wants.
My kids are grown, I’m divorced, retired at 35. I’m not quite forty yet.
I need to get away and I need to work impossibly hard like I’m used. I need to get away from the gun in my safe calling me.
I’ll work myself to death at any shipping job.
There’s got to be a captain looking for a newbie like that.
You’ll need to take your basic seamanship training to work on a commercial vessel, that will be a good start
this ?

Gotta admit, I was real suspicious of a link under a comment about seamanship training.
Risky click of the day!
That’s one of them, yes. But if you go down that route, be sure that your training and certs is in line with STCW. Otherwise you’ll only be certified for US waters.
