Wow, sounds like a cool gig.
What will be your job on such a boat?
Seems like it would take 2X as many staff as it would passengers to run it.

Just arrived on the yacht… I gotta say wow!! Such a nice boat

There’s a crew of 10. My role as deckhand involves, playing with the toys (jet skis and tenders) watch keeping, general maintenance, and keeping all the toys squeaky clean smile

The crew are all wicked ppl, even a couple of keen surfers on board! Stoked

Ill post up some pics for you cats soon!!

 

Thats one beautiful yacht man.
Congrats!

Mental mate, you gotta be stoked with that.  I take it you’re a single man, would be hard to be anything else living that life!

I always wondered what it would be like to get a job on a cruise ship. that would be cool.
Meet so many interesting people… I guess a lot like international travel to a ski resort, though.

So the last few days on the boat have been pretty sweet.. The crew have overloaded my brian with info, which is cool.. Gotta rock the mental stimulation!

Lots of cleaning goes down on this bad boy.. Ive been strapped into a harness and hung over the side of the boat to wash windows, used various cleaning chemicals and agents and nearly fallen into the drink many times.. Hahaha Good fun, the crew are all great ppl, all the boys wakeboard or surf, the stewardess girls are all smokin hot too! Ha!

Off to Puerto Rico on Sunday then we bail to St Lucia.. Game on! Yeeew!
