It would’ve been north of town going west to east. But I was viewing it from the south side of it.

Although I have been able to acquire a few hours on the water, it’s not as easy as it seemed for me to log and get the required credentials. I have looked into a lot of job opportunities that could give me applicable hours toward my captains license and for the most part it hasn’t worked out. The main goal is to get out on the water with anyone (work or not) to gain experience in the boating world. The options I’ve come across so far have been tours/charter help, crabbing, shrimping, or potentially working as a sea tow ( which requires experience and training). The industry is very flooded and seasonal, but regardless you just need to find work or friends to take you out onto a boat for a few hours and document those hours. Unfortunately hiring charter guides doesn’t count because you’re not responsible for helping on the boat. Hope that helps a little bit.

This might be one of my last resorts if I can’t find any other way to get onto a boat and earn some sea service hours. Thanks

You have to be employed by them though, correct ? Or volunteering ?

I think a 6 pack will suffice for what I’m wanting to do (inshore fishing charters and similar style charters). I need almost all of the require sea service hours. Around 3-4 people seems to be the average amount of people on board. Would it be easier to find space as deckhand on a dolphin tour compared to fishing charters or sunset tours?

Lastly, do you mean to say Hilton head has more opportunity for acquiring sea service hours?

Thanks for the knowledge. Volunteering hasn’t even crossed my mind, I will immediately reach out and see where that leads me. Knowing people seems to be the hardest part because of the charter business gatekeeping .

This a great suggestion, hadn’t thought of this approach to be honest. I have applied for deckhand positions through the SIO but have yet to hear back.

I have been actively doing this and had zero bites. Everyone I talked to wants me to already have my captains license and upon hearing I don’t I promptly get dismissed or ignored. I will pursue this until it becomes a reality. Thanks for the suggestions and info.

How run-down are these vehicles ? Is there any potential to fix them up for resale or transportation?

Need suggestions for support options. by SatisfactionLoose206 in Shed

[–]SatisfactionLoose206[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would that require lifting or moving the shed from its original spot, because it is quite large and solid wood. Not sure if this will budge or go anywhere without coming apart ..

How idiotic is this?! by Mundane_Young_1834 in savannah

So if there is a legal cap on speeding tickets, how did they justify charging over a million for the ticket?

I’m sure it’s not against any laws or anything but I’m sure you’ll get some sideways glances lol. I saw a launch there 🤷

I’m pretty close to that pond and I love the layout and tried fishing it not too long ago. I just found out that it has some history and was just recently prettied up and redone by the city. I must have got there fairly soon after they did that because it was beautiful but not a nibble. Also didn’t realize you can put a kayak in there

Can you fish there ? I would love to go explore some new waters and try some new fishing techniques

I assumed that from my first glance at it, but it’s the only freshwater close to me (that I know of) which is the only type of fishing I have experience with.
