The rubber dinghy pull's up beside the Omarsea and I grab on to the toe rail. The boat come's to a sudden stop and every body get's ready to jump off. Yep, that's what it's been like for the past few weeks. I am Able Body Seaman Steve. The job is some what entertaining for the most part . I pump up the dinghy with air when it needs inflating. I tie it securely to the Omarsea when we come home or to the dock when we visit shore. If it rains I bail out the rainwater. Some time's if it's just Dad and I, I get to drive the dinghy. But, most of the time I just tie it up and lock it for safety. The job is good because it allows me to perform a role that build leadership hour's for star rank in Scouts. For the past 17 day's I have lived this life and I feel like I am needed. It feels really good to have a position on-board that is all mine. well it's time to shove off the S.S Omarsea! Fair Winds and following sea's Mates.
That's great Steve - working your way up to Captain one knot at a time.
