Default Re: License from a Cracker Jack box

Of course, I will defer to Mr Cavo,
I'll admit I didn't read the section that qualifies the "grandfathering privilege". I wouldn't suggest or support the premise of ["allowing someone who hasn't been on a towing vessel for 20+ years to get the license based on prior service"]. I was merely pointing out the fact he should have been grandfathered. However, if he failed to ask about it within the term of his first renewal after May of 2001, he can't have been operating tugs. Without the endorsement he couldn't have handled the boat legally. I just wanted to offer a bit of reference material and never progressed to the logic you provided.
Thank you for the explanation Mr. Cavo.
Regards,
bb
