Granted I could go home to South Africa and start up a chiropractic practice and do some dive instruction in between for extra cash. However, South Africa has become one of the most violent countries in the world and the Rand is worth nothing. Currently trading at +-R10 to $1 and R18 to 1GBP and R12 to 1 Euro. I would rather be a deckhand on a yacht at 41 and prove myself that way than be a slave in my own country.

The only way I can earn some money that is worth something on international markets is working on a foreign flag vessel as I do not have residency in any other country other than SA. I guess I could marry and get a work permit, something I am considering deeply. Just need to find the right girl!!
