when i moved to hawaii i wanted a job on a sailboat.. when i went to see if anyone was hiring a captain for windjammer cruises was overseeing work on an 87' schooner.. he told me that every person that came to hawaii wanted that.. i offered to work for free.. for the experience.. to get experience.. after a week of refitting the boat..  i ended up with a well paying crew job.. sailing the hawaiian islands... boss was impressed with my attitude and work.. we became friends.. where there is a will there is a way...
