Deckhands on fresh water who smoke cannabis, how?
I’ve heard some say they use cannabis off the boat at home sometimes. My company does randoms and I’m just curious how does one enjoy themselves without popping positive.
I have a prescription and can smoke legally, though I can’t with my current job and it really sucks. It helps with my anxiety and insomnia and I just would rather smoke on my days off than drink. Thoughts?

Is this a common occurrence with GPS tracking on maritime tracker.
I'm just messing around on the maritime tracker, and every boat in this area seems to follow the same pattern, is this a common error and what does it mean?

I am a cadet in my last year of study. I am writing my dissertation on the opinions of seafarers on the decarbonisation of future marine power and would very much appreciate it if you could fill it out. Im looking for responses from anyone that works at sea, from cadets to masters.

Possible to get a crew job by asking around?
I'm a broke white person who's lived in south/east asia for several years. I don't have the money to return to my country of birth, but I would like to get to a country which is nearer to it than to here.
Is it possible to do this by going to a port city and asking around? Are there any legal problems or dangers I should be aware of? Can I expect payment as well? I should hope I could, but I don't know how everything works.
Which southeast asian country I'm currently in doesn't matter. I'm willing to go to the next one over if it'll get me to North or South America more safely.

OUPV Captains license income
I recently passed my OUPV test and filled out all the forms except one. I should be able to send all my paperwork off and start the wait for my license.
I have a skiff and plan to run fly fishing and light tackle charters in my local waters.
I’m running the figures of my potential income and have taken into account fishing licenses, permits, approximate boat and trailer maintenance / repairs, fuel,
My costs are low considering I’m running a small skiff that’s easy to tow, good on fuel and I’m poling most of the time. I also have connections in the industry (although I need to develop more) to get better prices on good products.
The income figures come in looking decent even considering it’s a lot of work on and off the water.
My question is what am I missing? I often times see guides complain about pay being very low. I can certainly see where profits could get eaten up quickly but it seems like if you are cautious to keep expenses low and spend wisely, profits could be decent.
Any insight on this?
I know it has been asked but any other thoughts on ways to make income using this license?
Considering upgrading to my masters later depending on where this leads.
I’m located in Florida for reference.

ENG1 medical exam (prostate?)
I have my eng1 medical booked, and I was talking with a few of my crew and they mentioned that they had to have a prostate exam, this is in New Zealand, is this common? They were also in their underwear for the duration of the exam.
Does this sound normal or are they pulling my leg (couldn’t find anything about it online)

CAD software
For my training as a Marine Engineer, I need to make drawings of pipe systems. Does anyone have a recommendation for software to use for this? I tried looking online, but I could not find anything that suits what I want to do. I just need the regular drawings, with the valves consisting of two triangles, but all I can find is software for more pneumatic-like drawings, with 2/3 valves for example. If anyone has a tip, that would be great!
