Response by Chupu Charters, Inc.: Bruce, Start off hanging around the docks. Make friends with the captains and crews. Offer to help out and clean the boat when they get in or lend a hand in dry dock. Don’t get in the way or be a pest. Just let folks know that you are available and you want to learn. If you get invited on a trip. Show up early, bring lunch for the captain and crew. If they drink, buy the beer at the end of the day. If they don’t, stay sober too. Put your time in for free at first and learn everything anyone will teach you. Don’t expect to get rich, ever. You have to do it because you love it. Not for the money. If you work hard, doors will open. If you don’t, Burger King is always hiring. Good Luck.
