Waterhorse Charters.com and TRLMI
Good Morning Everyone, it’s been a crazy long week and more to come next week. This whole week I’ve been working on the boat (of course) but I’ve also been going to night classes at Training Resources Limited Maritime Institute (TRLMI) for a Diesel Engine Maintenance Course. YES, I’m still trying to improve my weak […]
USCG Master’s Ticket,,,,(finally) my Captain’s License
Finally eared and received my Captain’s License
Making Progress through the National Maritime Center
Ugghhhh, the Coast Guard Licensing process is slow and really backed up right now, so I’m still waiting on my actual Coast Guard License. But, lots of progress. Since taking my class in January, my package/application for Captain’s License has made it through the Processing Center in Long Beach and was forwarded to the US […]
Successful Captain’s License Class
Good evening: I successfully passed my OUPV/Master up to 100 Gross Ton Course and both the Towing and Sailing Endorsements.

I mean, like worse than college hard, because I’ve been sitting on my butt in class for these 8 hour days, plus extra classes […]
Trying to make it real!
I’ve been off the site for a couple of days because I was prepping to start my USCG Captain’s License Course (100 Ton Master). I figure if I’m going to put my family on a small sailboat and take off for ports unknown eventually, I probably ought to have some sort of formal education at […]
Captain’s Licensing Course in January
Good morning, we’re out traveling and I’ve got lots of great info to pass along about this trip, but first an update on my quest to qualify for my Captain’s License- I’m in the course and officially taking it in January. I’ve waded through the extensive Coast Guard Paperwork and figured out it’s not as […]
