\ni was just about to take Mayuki out into the sea to scrub the bottom again. i’ve been doing it myself once a week and it’s a lot of work. fun, good exercise, but hard work. maybe because i have no air tank? free diving and scrubbing is hard on the mind. you have to relax to hold your breath for a long time, but try relax upside down scrubbing the bottom of a boat. you start to get dizzy after a while. so this time, instead of getting dizzy, i hired a guy down at the pier. i made a hawaiian style brother to brother deal and he did it for $25. that is freaking cheap!

\ni was watching him do it and thinking to myself, “these guys are hard workers!” it’s a tough job! then when he finished, i asked him “can you come again in 2 weeks?” haha.

\ncould you imagine how much it would cost to clean the bottom of this boat? this is a russian billionaire’s superyacht that is parked at the aloha tower now. i’d guess a bottom scub for this yacht would probably cost around $3,000? or more?

\nlast night was the night i finally finished taking my exam for the hawaii boating license. it took very long, but i passed! now i’m officially certified and legal to operate any boat in hawaiian waters.

\ni got my certificate that is valid for a lifetime. how hard was the exam? well, you do have to study. i knew most of the answers but there were some i didn’t know. so reading every page of information was necessary. i think it was a good idea to implement this because knowing the boating rules and being safe is very important. it will indeed save lives in the future.

\ni was so glad that it was finally over that i had to kanpai to myself! i actually said “good job, cheers!” and i was alone. haha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
