    Thanks. Yeah, when it comes to the price - "If you have to ask..."

    I'm definitely lucky in what I do as I love it. We're outside all day/every day. Lots of times it's a pain in the *ss when out with owners/guests, but lots of times I'm moving boats when owners not on board (tomorrow I'm taking a noob buddy on a 75 mile trip to take boat back to winter quarters).

    Hate to say it, but my ride on that boat is over - owner's young kids starting to get to be teenagers and weren't into spending as much time with Mom and Dad on the boat...boat was just sold. I did 12 north/south trips from NY to FL on that thing! About 14,000 miles...

    Some of the instruments, etc. Wind instrument showing close to 50kts (about 55mph) of wind as we made our way across Pamlico sound.

    This beast is 105' long and 44' WIDE. All aluminum live-aboard dive boat I crewed for 4+ years (2 as first mate/head diving instructor, 2 as captain). 20 guests, 7 crew, 44 weeks of charter/year. Pick up guests Sunday noon, drop off Saturday noon...

    Boat lived in BVI, but made seasonal trips as far down as Grenada (site of one of our more successful invasions).

    Lots of fun, tons of hard work, great $ as you never get off boat to spend any!
