Bye bye Caribbean, back to reality and Ft Lauderdale

Well, after 5 months living aboard down here, this gig is just about up and I'm heading back to Ft Lauderdale for a while (with the boat lol). I'll be staying on part time but will be needing to fill some gaps if anyone has or knows of any boat needs in the area.

My oldest labrador is/has been ill so I'm hoping to find some decent day work in the area till I get her straightened out.

Anyway, I hold a current USCG OUPV captain license (upping that to 100 ton when I get back) and experienced in just about every part of a boat from the helm to the engine room to the galley.

I wouldn't normally post this kind of crap in here but the other boat I was going to be working on is now staying in Mexico another year...kinda caught me off guard with that one. Oh well, things could be worse!

Jonathan still running this board or what??

Hi RIP. I no longer own or operate the site- sold it about 6 months ago. I can be reached at jdparmet@gmail.com. I occasionally hear of work I may be able to forward on to you. Welcome home.

Man, do I have some stories for ya. And you'll never guess where I'm living. No, it doesn't have bars or guards.
