From a lifetime of commercial fishing,I have plenty of scars.However,I now catch boat owners,rather than fish.I have socially transitioned over the last ten years from being "paid for what I know,as well as do",to being a "hands on project manager" with a crew of helpers. My crew knows who I am and doesn't expect me to sacrifice myself,when they certainly won't..lol.Initially the commercial fishboat projects are dirty,and in the end,they are as new.I work for myself and perhaps the next project will be a "Newbuild" where I will be mostly in the office wearing a dress..lol For now,it's a mix. But I no longer beat myself up to earn a living.
