Help me become your captain!

Dear everyone,

First of all, thank you for showing enough interest to click this link.

I know it's likely a surprise to see that I am asking you for your help, it took a lot for me to get to this point. Let me explain. You see, I came to live for a year in Australia and in the process I fell in love with the girl of my dreams and this amazing part of the world. No surprise, I am not ready to leave. So I've thought long and hard about what to do and figured out a master plan. My current visa is expiring and my only option was to pay for my visa to stay; There goes the piggy bank! This means that I am struggling to find the funds to pay for the course that will help me stay and work in Australia. The course I'm going to do starts very soon on November 2nd and it is to become a certified commercial skipper. The course title is "Coxswains Grade 1 " and it will allow me to drive any vessel up to 14 meters with many people on board. Think charters, relocations, private boat trips, dive boats, whale watching, etc, etc. It is the perfect job for me! Having my engineering background, passion for adventure and my love for keeping everyone safe and happy it really does tick all the boxes. I plan on using this license to start my boating career. To begin with I will be working in the Sydney area and then opening up to the world when free travel becomes a possibility again. This is going to be me for a very long time. The end goal is to own a boat  sailing with friends wherever the wind blows. 

So here's the deal. I'm asking for whatever donation you can make at this time. It can be anything from pocket change to a new boat, I will love and appreciate you either way. Even if you cannot donate, I will still love and appreciate you. So lets give it all we can to sail together!
