Here Comes The Pilot

One of the highest licensing standards in the US (and I would imagine Barbados as well!

 

Here comes the pilot to guide us to our safe berth in Barbados. One of the toughest jobs around in my opinion since you've got to be a ship's Master first and will have been at sea for 15 to 25 years to satisfy this requirement.

 

There's a lot of people (cargo, etc) depending on you and your knowledge to get them safely to your destination. Me, I'm barely responsible for myself so I doubt I could take on a job like this!

 

As a cruiser I certainly am glad they're there to help me reach my destination!
