Hi K1W1,
Thanks very much for your welcome and response, which unfortunately for me, is along the lines that I expected!
It would appear that despite published crew shortages (?), the industry as a whole has blinkers on. Being in your 40’s, I am sure you would agree that 50 is not old! I was kind of hoping, perhaps naively, that my considerable experience, excellent training, proven management skills, and great personality coupled with recent refresher training might have given me a reasonable chance at a look in.
Still not totally off the idea, I think I will contact some agencies before forking out the $6k to get the RYA and STCW.
Once again thanks for you realistic advice!!
