I am indeed. Little more than that, now, dunno how I got so old haha. Yes, I think we'd get along.

thanks! if its ok to ask, what kind of boats do you work on? also i've never met anyone into the opera before- very neat interest! not giving much thought to it until now, i've never considered how the emotions conveyed through opera resonated with folks. anyhow, cheers and safe travels o7

of course it is, I was just getting trained up on an OSV before our ass-backwards government canceled the wind farm they were constructing (90% completed btw). So they canned me. I *should* get on a bulk carrier this month. So, I'm totally green. I'm no sailor, yet. Yes, liking the opera has come as a shock especially to myself. It's just so rich. Thanks for the comment <3

wishing you all the best! it can be very intimidating to join a vessel for the first time- especially hopping onto bulkers. that sucks about your cancelled OSV work but thankfully there is all sorts of different opportunities in the field if one ship doesnt suit your tastes or work out initially. i'll be interested to hear your experiences if you choose to post about them ^^

Thank you! :D

Oh really?? You've been on a tallship! Funny thing is I haven't been on one yet!

Yes haha! Its called the Bill Of Rights in California if you want to look it up. Its very interesting. We pulled the mast up though it was a group effort. and haha really? What a surprise!

I got really sunburnt on the ship but it was a fun experience

It's a gorgeous little thing! The only vessels I'm on are little tugboats, but soon I should be on a bulk carrier in the Lakes.

Wow. Thats super cool! Bulk carriers are a bit scary to me as I am always surrounded by those containers. We went by some of the equipment that picks up containers while I was on the tall ship. Its very fascinating!
