After resigning from the Board of Marine Pilots in 1996, I studied and sat for a license as an Unlimited Federal Ship Pilot for all of Southeast Alaska. Then I again went to sea sailing as the Master of Research Vessels and Expedition Mega-yachts toting the "rich and famous" around the world. I did this for a few years until 2001. After 9/11, I was sucked back into the military as an "Emergency Essential" logistics planner (long story...).
