I have a ton of experience with electrical (signals/rf too), plumbing, mechanical, woodworking, finishing, engines, etc There isn't much I can't fix. As far as nautical experience goes, I'm a novice but I recently went through a small boat certification course and planning on being a "trailer sailor" for a couple years or more to build up experience. I grew up near Charleston SC harbor, and I think the ocean is calling me back. A couple of questions; how do you find work or how does work find you? Do you have a home base where your tools are located or are you doing these jobs in "random" ports you travel to? (You can message me if you don't want to share your industry secrets publicly 😉 ) /edit Found your blog so I got some reading to do. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] nobleshift@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sinthesis@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I definitely appreciate your words and completely understand what you're saying. I finished reading your blog and like your "raw" perspective. You should update it with an "where I've been, where I am and where I'm going" post. It feels like a short story, over the span of several years, but you have a bit of a cliff hanger there 😉 I had a bunch of other stuff written but I removed it because it was scatter-brained and all over the place. I may in fact reach out to you for conversation. While our bearings might not be the same, I think there's a lot to learn and I like your style. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] nobleshift@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
