mentor wrap up

Dear blog this is my last blog to wrap up what I have experience from my mentoring. I have spent twenty-five complete hours with a mentor and have found out a harbor masters job is quit hard to do. working on the docks and keeping things clean wasn't as hard as all the paper work that go's with the job. at the beginning of every month my mentor tim had to deal with all the billing process for each boat that is at that harbor. I had a lot of experience with my social skills and talking to everyone that lives on there boats. I also got to experience how the wiring works on the docks and the traffic ways on the water. Working on boats was fun but hard because I hade to wash five different boats and it was a lot of work but fun. The funest part of the mentoring was going on walks with my mentor to patrol the area for thing that are not in place or vandalism. On those walks though I got learn a lot of history such as the liberty ship which was used in WWII and learning about the old fueling station and docking station the navy used during that war as well. .In all of the experience I learned I would not want to make harbor master as my career goal but it was fun learning about it and obtaining a lot of knowledge about what it takes to be a harbor master
