Ever since I saw "Forrest Gump", I've always wanted to be a shrimpin' boat captain, but I'll probably settle for just running my 58 up and down the river if it proves to be profitable. Meanwhile, I do plan to get into deliveries once everything is said and done.

Who knows, maybe I'll end up in Florida again and look into a full time gig if the right opportunity presents itself. I could always follow Pascal around and take pictures when I see him do something wrong.

Am i correct in thinking you started the test around 5 and finished around 9? Was that the entire test?

Actually, I went in early to do some more practice plots and was given the opportunity to take the test earlier than the scheduled 5PM start time. As best I recall, I started the test around 2PM and was finished by about 5PM. Yes, that was all four modules of the test.

At the risk of sounding like a smartass, you either know this stuff or you don't. I took extra time doing the plotting as that's something that's still new to me in terms of set and drift problems. Quite frankly, I don't see ever using the plotting skills I learned in this class, but at least I know how to do it now.

I also double checked all my answers on ROR as I knew that was the section that required the highest percentage of correct answers. Lots of tricky crap in there as opposed to just a cut and dried test of knowledge. Turned out I missed one anyway, but the instructor told us the CG won't allow the tester to reveal which questions were missed after testing.
