LIFE AT SEA

Life at sea is not so easy. Life at sea is full of challenges and immense satisfaction. While at sea, you will be putting all your skills and determination to the actual test. You will be given responsibility and will be doing an important job for which you would be uniquely trained. Living at sea is to be constantly in danger and constantly having to take that danger seriously. At the same time, you must be light-hearted enough not to become moody or depressed easily. Often there are periods of extreme stress and overwork followed by long periods of boredom. You need to be able to work well under pressure and also deal with uneven sleep schedules and sometimes lack sleep entirely. You need to be able to wake up immediately in the middle of the night to go and handle whatever emergency arises. Living at sea is hard work.
