A real captain lets his mate dock the boat as well.

The (real) captains in this conversation are making themselves quite aparent. The paper license is for the insurance company. It's the experience that will get you home when the fit hits the shan. A captain job is easy - if your an insomniac workaholic. When I got into the (private) boat industry I knew that I knew everything there was to know (oops). I've spent the last six years as a deckhand, mate, engineer, and captain. The most important thing I've learned is that I'll never know everything. But hopefully I have enough experience, and some good people working WITH me so that we as a crew can get the job done. I still work as a deckhand, as an engineer, and as a stew. And no piece of paper can cover all the particulars of that.
Aero - if you ever need crew, I'd be happy to interview. I won't ***** about beds and heads, and I can actually drive these 120' clorox bottles.
