I went to the Maritime & Coastguard Agency today for my second attempt at my Orals exam for my next licence.
I had been in Glasgow for a month, studying harder than I have before.
I passed.
I can now be the Chief Officer of any Vessel in the world, or I can be the Captain of vessels less than 3000 gross tonnes.
The next step is to apply to do Orals to take the 3000GT limitation away and be Master unlimited.
The aim is for that to happen by the end of next year.
These are good days. |  |

Cheers chaps.
A fibre cabin cruiser? Not entirely sure I am responsible for that!
Yeah Glassers I did my Orals in Hull and am back home now. Was a great evening meeting up with you again. Hopefully Seb and I get to catch you at a match again soon! | |

No mate, it’s my last weekend at home so it’s a family weekend.
Back to sea next week. What a busy leave. | |

You should be very proud of yourself. |  | | |

Congratulations Newcy. Onwards and upwards, I have no doubt you'll be unlimited in no time.

What happened to him? Did he fall off his unicycle on the way to the moon?

Good for you that the study paid off. Was walking back from a wee lighthouse in Figueira da Foz, Northern Portugal as we watched a pilot's launch rendevouz with a modest container ship at sundown this evening, I guess you are well beyond such minor concerns now. [Post edited 1 Oct 2019 23:09]

I initially misread and thought this thread was about Marmite.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the kind remarks.
Promotion after this ship to Chief Officer will mean a payrise and more time off!
Dickie, I think I probably have the most surprising job out of us all! | |

I'm going to show my pure naivety here and probably regret this.. but i am intrigued with your answer...With your current qualifications and experience ..would that be transferable to allow you to work on some form of cruise ship for example at a pretty high level and would the hours,pay and quality of life and experiences for not just you, but be potentially afforded to your family too, even with just getting to spend more time together off and on board, be a real possibility ? |  |
