in introduceyourself •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello Again steemates,

Lets go a bit deeper! Whats it all about?

Creating unforgettable memories with family & friends. That is what its all about!!. my job is to create the perfect environment for my guests, but ultimately its all down to the crew!

Ensuring my crew are happy, safe and well motivated is very important to me. Teamwork is paramount to a successful charter boat. The biggest challenge I face as a Captain, is keeping everyone together when the pressure rises & stress from the high season takes its grip.

Happy Crew = Happy Guests!!!

My crew is my Family! They trust me with there lives and its a feeling like no other. A responsibility I do not take for granted. I encourage a mutual appreciation of each others skills & develop them where needed. The aim, To reach a point of harmony, were each person know the others next move. like a well oiled machine.

This industry is diverse & the opportunity to travel is limitless. To go to new destinations & explore is why I love my work. The amazing people we meet & the cultures we experience, makes this such a unique industry. I have been collecting photos of my travels for years, I am so happy to now have a frendly platform to share them.

Fabulous :) Where those pictures were taken exactly? The volcano-looking island, the inhabited island in the middle of the bay and the seaside town with the belltower? :)

NB: no need to add "introduceyourself" to each post you know ;)

Hi @herverisson thanks for the tip. The volcano is " Stromboli island" just of the north coast of Sicily. The inhabited island & the bell tower were in Montenegro. Stunning area, hope you get the chance to visit. 😊
