Hey, Tre. I love how transparent you are. I've been looking into sailing. Your job was truly a blessing from God. Two weeks on and two weeks off with good pay, AND you get to finish school. Thats really a blessing, bro. I wish you the best!

[@Tr3TV2022]

Thank you for such calm words ❤️🙌 I appreciate it truly. I feel like when you get blessed you must spread the blessings .. a lot of people don’t know about this industry but it has truly changed my life 💯

I have looked into Grand River navigation on the great lakes, they have smaller boats and have a good time on time off schedule compared to a lot of other companies. At least that's what they advertise
