Holy Moly !!! Now THAT is livin! What's the crew size and does the first mate have to be licensed or just you the captain? ( I assume you are the captain. )
My wife and I ran the boat, hosting week long wilderness, wildlife and fishing charters for up to 10 people in Southeast Alaska. I was captain, she was the chef. We also had a deck hand and steward to round out the crew. We earned a living for 24 years doing this but recently retired. Now we just need to sell the boat. I'll help run her around to the St. Lawrence if you likeHoly Moly !!! Now THAT is livin! What's the crew size and does the first mate have to be licensed or just you the captain?
