You are very correct. The internet is a HORRIBLE way to find a captain gig. I do have good advice for you though! Get a better attitude about it! You have had your license for only a year and appearently never even worked as a captain. Have you ever been a paid deckhand, mate,boat grease monkey? I would bet not! Have you applied for any of these jobs? If you are willing to work, and have any communication skills, it is very easy to network and find good captain jobs. Check your ego at the door and go get a job washing boats. If you are only half decent, and have a little patience, it will be an easy route up from there.
You could also go the commercial route, os>ab>mate>captain, but don't even get me started on this!
