first day with mentor at the harbor masters


5hours done 5hours complete
 
 
Dear blog I started on february 2nd and I met up with my mentor at the harbor masters at oaster point. My mentors name is tim and also had served 5 years in the coast guard befor he was a harbor master. Tim also was a medic in the ciast guard. That day that day I met up with him we did 5 hours of mentoring and he had taught me a lot in that anount of time.he showed me how to read the tide books for out in ouster point. You have add an extra hour that it said in the tide book for the tides coming in and out. Tim also showed me how to read all the meeters on the docks for each individual boat. The meeters show how much energy the boats use for each month to pay the bill for it. My mentor also showed me how to read the maps for the water freeways and were the big boats must stay in a certain current so that the do not bottom out on the dirt on low tides. The last thing I learned was that the bouwees in the water over there are maintained by that docks harbor mastwr and when exating the green light is on the right side and when coming in the red light is on the right
