My first day aboard the beautiful yacht, in Fort Lauderdale.
My first day, meeting the current crew on board, and some guests. Some initial work involved to assist the deck crew to get the vessel ready for the guests.
The time to familiarize with the vessel was brief, as waiting to meet the yacht owner on board and and getting ready to sail. Vessel was to reposition from Ft. Lauderdale to Palm Beach, it's home dock.
Voyage planning and reviewing my notes and nav. charts and the electronic nav. system.
trip completion
As relief Captain of the yacht, the vessel was a full time assignment to me, as per insurance requirements. The vessel mostly stayed in south Florida, with some itineraries to the Bahamas.
