She is landlocked in Denver, CO
I understand the crew agency concept but she has no way to get the certificates (STCW 95) 6000 feet up, and walking door to door on the docks is a little had to do also. Where does she start?
Any help would be appreciated

Hi There...
Its true... Head to Fort Lauderdale.
There is only one way to do it and that is to find some day work for yachts in the yards. Stay at the following crew house... Check out the link... http://www.theneptunegroup.com/ Head to Waxy O' Conner's on a Friday night and Network,...!!!! If your friend is a social animal there are many owners/ Captains that will help out with the training. The industry is always crying out for presentable, reliable smart, social and fun loving young people with a zest for life and a willingness to travel and learn..
