What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Sad but good! On to the next chapter my friend! What's next for you after you rest some I mean.
We are headed to Moscow tomorrow to check out the university of Idaho for my son Joe, campus tour, etc, then to Boise on Wednesday and Thursday for a tour of Boise state.
Then back to 15 straight days of work...

I agree he's an awesome guy!
 
anytime you need a deck hand I'd like to volunteer! worst I ever saw was out on a 120 footer cod fishing off of Pt Judith the day before a hurricane. 30 foot rollers. I tried standing on the bow for a bit....back inside!
We were caught in a small craft advisory back in 2020, wife sprained her wrist hanging on, 6 to 8 ft swells in a 19 footer is not nice
 
Will the new job at least be less stressful and less hours?
I'm going to say yes and no.
Way less responsibility in the employee/business/taxes area.

I would be terrified!

I thought the whole selling the restaurant was to let you slow down. 15 days straight! At least you got 2 days off a week as an owner. I don’t understand?
 
I am a sous chef now at a golf course a little bit out of town.
No more omelets, eggs or anything of the kind
Of course, selling hot dogs and corona on the beach is the dream!
You guys have a beach?
