Creator's Key Takeaways
I actually have my license to pilot an oceangoing vessel.
I successfully completed the test on my second try actually on July 31st in 2021.
The captain and I just did not get along. I realized very quickly I was not going to learn anything from him.
I'm proud of the achievement of just succeeding in getting this anyways.

Not only cruise ships have captains. Also smaller vessels have them, too. Back in 2020 / 2021, I embarked on a journey to get my international accreditation to pilot an ocean going vessel.
