Bartending can be the highest paying food service career out there. Me, being the positive person I am, I try to always find the benefits and lessons in everything, so this is, in my opinion,a list the best benefits of bartending. I personally, make more money than anyone else, including the other bartenders & managers. The Benefits: Freedom... Forget about working the 9 to 5. I have freedom to sleep in and get up whenever I want. My shifts are generally four to six hours MAX. So I make twice the cash in half the time of most people out there. Flexibility... I could get a full-time gig at a nightclub, casino,restaurant, bar, or sports venue. Or hire out my services part-time for weddings...

I've been on many cruises on several lines from both coasts. All that time at sea, I felt relatively safe. All passengers and crew members are required to participate in a muster drill that acquaint the travelers with their life vests and lifeboat stations. Every crew member has been trained in emergency procedures. But all the most recent news is troubling. A man falls overboard, apparently drowning. A tour group from a ship is killed when the bus goes off the road. A ship catches on fire. These are the headlines, but, what about the rest of the story? The man overboard was also drunk, according to friends. The tour bus was unlicensed to carry passengers and not associated with the cruise line...

Human beings have traveled in water with great thrill and zest. Ships and boats are far earlier than wheels and vehicles. People love floating on water. Now, they not only travel in oceans and rivers but also have transformed this tedious and painful practice into recreation and luxury. The cities of Venus have been deliberately made to enjoy the beautiful floating on water. Ships and boats have been luxuriously added with barges and floating houses and cabins. From small boat to the biggest palaces, decorative and lavishing residences are attached to the motor boats. People hire such beautiful homes adorned with various living facilities to enjoy their vacations and honey moons. World's water...

It is an amazing dream. Build a sailboat in the winter and spend all summer sailing around the lake. Even if you only learn how to build a model sailboat, it would be so much fun and it should not be that difficult. Should it? Well, if you have the right tools, no. Your first and most important tool is a building plan. This plan will tell you how to build a sailboat. Even experienced carpenters have difficulty building a boat without a good building plan. Always remember to stay with the plans any variance can change the performance of the boat. Changes to the plan may also make the boat unsafe. Of course, the plan for the sailboat is not the only important tool. In addition to a building plan you...

The closer your boat is to danger, the faster you will need to deal with steering failure. If, for instance, the wind and tide are pushing your boat towards the shore, you need to implement your solution quickly. Similarly, if you are in a busy shipping lane where there's increased risk of hitting or being hit by another vessel, you have to know what you should do to regain control of your boat quickly. First, prevention is better than cure To avoid losing your steering, you should check your steering mechanism at the start of the sailing season and then before each major voyage or race. This check is often overlooked because of its difficult-to-reach location. Look for wear, tighten fittings that...

In the last Learn to Sail article on reefing we convinced you pretty hard on why you should reef the sails. So now lets first learn how to reef the headsails. The five most common sails on a sailboat are mainsail, jibsail, genoa, spinaker and genaker. We'll deal with the spinnaker and genaker first in regards to reefing because it's pretty simple. Take them down and replace with a smaller one if available or take down entirely. Don't push the limits with these sails. They are made of very fine and fragile fabric because they need to be light. If you over power these sails they will tear. Even if they don't tear, one slight misjudgment or distraction when flying these in high winds can lead to a...

Some of these opportunities involve finding a salaried or hourly wage-paying job, like becoming a traveling nurse, an airline hostess or pilot, a traveling chef, a cruise ship worker, yacht crew member, a massage therapist or hospitality worker at a resort.

alia is one of the most beautiful and intriguing places on the face of the earth. Tourism is a huge part of their economy especially during any of the wonderful festivals that the continent holds each year. Australia is more then picturesque views and breathtaking sites, their elaborate festivals reveal so much more to live in the down under then anyone could imagine and no one more important then the others. Each year there is a yacht race is held from Sydney to Hobart. The finish line in Hobart signifies the beginning of a totally new event, the ‘The Hobart Summer Festival’. Right after Christmas and al the way into mid-January celebrate in the summer sun. Hobart’s waterfront...

When we learned of the Gulf oil explosion this past April, the loss of life coupled with the hourly projections about environmental fallout was disturbing enough. However, to learn that BP had no real crisis plan or immediate solution to deal with this type of incident immediately instilled a sense of anger among many stakeholders. One of the biggest "eye brow raising moments" early on was to watch BP executives on NBC's Today Show respond to a question/statement by an anchor during an interview. The question to the executive was "You had no crisis plan to deal with this, did you?" Well, the executive did not answer the question and quickly directed his response in another direction, never answering...

The following is an exerpt from Eric Bakker ND's new upcoming book on candida yeast infection treatment: Remember the song "I never promised you a rose garden"?  There is no such thing as smooth sailing in a successful Candida yeast infection eradication program, anymore than there is trying to win the America's Cup. A strong gust of wind can come out of nowhere, an unpredictable storm may break your mast and your crew (your partner or other family or perhaps a friend) may even bail out on you at times finding you, the captain, just too difficult to handle! Like a major yacht race, a candida treatment program can cause you to become quite emotional and difficult or even impossible to be with at...

There's something so alluring about sailing the high seas - it draws the likes of young adventurers like Jessica Watson and Abby Sunderland, and it is considered one of the most enjoyable past times for seasoned sailors and ocean travellers. However, for those of us born without our sea legs, the idea of a sailing trip can leave us a bit anxious - and a wee bit queasy in the stomach. Don't let seasickness ruin your dream getaway. There are a number of ways to lessen the effects of motion sickness and queasiness - step onboard with these great sailing tips. What is Seasickness? Seasickness, like all types of motion sickness, is the reaction of your body's inner ear balance system to the unfamiliar...

I got an invoice from my lawyer a couple of days back - for what exactly I'm not sure, as his services didn't really match the bill! He said he was sending out invoices to a as many people as he could think of, to "keep the wolf from the door in these challenging times". Challenging times they may well be. We're all faced with difficult economic circumstances at present, we are all regularly faced with the ups and downs of normal everyday business and personal relationships and we are frequently confronted by the trials and tribulations of work, career and business. However the only real challenge we face is the challenge within. "How will I react in the face of so much negative stuff coming at me...

I had the pleasure of being invited on a friend's yacht to sail in a race on Sydney Harbour yesterday. On board, as one of our motley crew, I met a top ranking corporate executive from one of Australia's largest banks, who we'll call 'Phil' here for the purpose of this article. After the race ended and after being told of my trading experience, he told me he has a large stock portfolio, many of which are speculative resources stocks. He said that he's excited by all the money he's making and wondering how long this has been going on? As would be expected, 'Phil' also asked me for some "hot tips" for more stocks to buy. He was surprised with my reply when I told him Daryl Guppy's standard response of...

The latest addition to the Savana list of options is the all-new 6.0L V8. With 6.0L displacement, the new power plant produces 323 hp. In 2009, the largest engine available was the 5.3L V8 that produced 310 hp. At first glance, the increase in power output may seem modest. Nevertheless, the ability of the new engine to pull heavy loads improved substantially. Additional displacement now produces a whopping 460 ft-lbs. of torque. The new 6.0L power plant is based on GMC's flex-fuel design to increase performance and reduce emissions. In addition, the new power plant is available in all 1500, 2500 and 3500 models. Fuel efficiency naturally varies among models because of vehicle weight. In the mid...

Having a holiday/vacation in Croatia is the best cost-benefit way to spend your money wisely. Many people just don't know that Croatians are probably the most friendly people in Europe, and obviously this is the reason why there are so many tourists who come back to Croatia summer after summer. I have been in Croatia just once, but I have to say that people living there are absolutely wonderful. We managed to find an accommodation in Pula (or Pola in Italian and Polei in German) on the second floor of a duplex and I really felt like living in a decadent little roman empire for a little while. I was stunned to know that Pula owns a coliseum of its own! Also, you can simply have a walk throughout the...

Sailing is great fun! Look at all the aerobics you get to do. Have you noticed the shape you get in from all the sailing? How about that tan! Power boaters are usually under canopies or pilothouses, drinking anything from beer to martinis … and that’s underway. Wait till they dock up. The drinking really begins when the captain can join in. That’s when the good stuff really starts flowing. No aerobics on powerboats - there boats stay flat and go, go, and go.             Sailboats are different. We heel over (lean), the drinks usually fall over and, listen to this, we have plastic cups to drink from.  Power boaters have real glasses! You can hear the ice clinking!! On sailboats...

A catamaran sailing charter is the best option to choose when you want to take a sailing vacation. This is because this type of boat has the most room of all so that you can enjoy your sailing experience to the fullest. A typical catamaran sailing yacht has 4 private double cabins, plus 2 more for the captain and the crew. If you are chartering the catamaran and handling the sailing yourself, these extra cabins could be for the children. A catamaran sailing charter is an excellent idea for a family vacation where all the family can be together all the time. Some of the amenities you can enjoy with a catamaran sailing charter include cooling fans in the cabin and the salon. There are also fresh water...

Antifoulant Paints - How They Work Antifouling paint forbids aquatic growth such as barnacles, mussels and sometimes oysters, and plant growth from attaching to your trawler. Most antifouling paints use the diffusion of metallic elements within the paint to halt these foul critters from bonding. Copper (cuprous oxide) and tributyl tin are 2 metals that have proven to be successful as biocides, but tin, banned worldwide on ship hulls in 2009, was so poisonous that it decimated whole marine ecosystems. Copper compounds are now universally accepted, but the price of the copper raw material has risen substantially. In addition, high copper concentrations have dissolved in the water in some places in the...

With the weakening pound, choosing to holiday outside of the eurozone often gives British tourists better value for their money. Croatia is one of the few European countries to avoid adopting the Euro, which makes the low exchange rate appealing to many British tourists. Meri Matestic, the director of the Croatian National Tourist Office, says the country is becoming more popular because of "the good value for money it offers, plus the irrefutably stunning natural and cultural beauty". The currency in Croatia is the Kuna. Whilst the weakening of the pound has meant holidays to the eurozone have become more expensive, in Croatia you can get eight Kunas for one pound. Tourists looking for a luxurious...

The wedding day has been replaced by the wedding weekend, which includes a jam packed schedule of activities. Some are fairly standard (the rehearsal dinner), while others are definitely popular, but optional (the golf tournament). This is a guide to get you started on planning a weekend of wedding events. For a Saturday wedding, the wedding weekend will likely begin on a Thursday. This is the ideal time for the bride to host a ladies' luncheon, a lunch which she gives to show her appreciation for her bridesmaids. The guest list is small for this event: the bride, the bridesmaids, the flower girl, and the mothers of the bride and groom. During the luncheon, the bride will give out the pearl earrings...

We talk about happiness every day of our lives in our elusive search for it. We see happiness as something external we can just pluck out of nowhere when we want it, just call it up when we want to have a better day. Moreover, happiness seems to affect everyone else except us. If you are looking to the outside world or to material things for happiness you are looking in the wrong place. Real happiness cannot be found in outside of us. Often we are denied happiness because we don't know how to begin the search. Happiness has given us humans a lot of trouble for three main reasons. First, we don't know how to define happiness to suit ourselves. Everyone defines happiness in a different way. Quite...

Want to be living life on the ocean in your brand new yacht from the money you make money online? Too bad, that's most likely not going to happen to any of us soon. However, you can earn some pocket cash through sites called get paid to sites (here on out referred to as GPT). GPT sites will allow you to complete simple offers, such as completing a simple survey, and get paid for each offer you complete via check, Paypal, E-Gold, etc. Payment methods depends entirely on the site. Intereseted? I sure was when I first learned about GPT sites. I then started to research more on these sites and learned that GPT site owners, such as RaidTheBank and InstantProfitz, were just publishers to advertising...

entrepreneurs know that setting goals is crucial to business success. If you don't know where you're going, how will you know when you've arrived? Or, more importantly, when you're heading in completely the wrong direction? If you're the owner of a small business, what is your goal? To make it to the end of the month with enough money in the bank to cover the compensateroll? To take a holiday for the first time in five years? Every small business owner should have the same goal - sooner or later, to become independent of the business. Small businesses turn into big businesses only when they are able to operate smoothly without the owner being present. When you can stay away for a week, or a month...

We are now in 2010 and the world financial markets are still bouncing around like a rubber ball, one day we hear that things are looking brighter and the next something happens in the business world that causes another heavy fall in the stock market prices. While all of this probably only directly affects a very small percentage of us it does have a bigger impact further down the chain and this can be seen by the amount of people who are now out of work, unemployed or redundant. As companies now turn the screw on their employees, salaries are being reduced, freelance rates are being slashed and company staff are fearing for their positions, things are really looking bleak and for some there seems to...

A cuddy is a small cabin in a boat; cuddy also has the meaning of cousin, or alternatively a girlfriend, slick or cool. A cuddy boat is a boat with a small cabin, a small galley, a small head, and probably a small berth. A Doral cuddy boat is a cool boat that seems much larger than it should be. Doral has many years of design experience, and is known for its excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail. A cuddy boat is popular with people who want a little shelter and storage space but do not want to upgrade to a full cabin boat. As you will see from a description of Doral cuddy boats, you can get the best of both worlds, compactness with a sense of space, power and style. Doral Eclipse...

> It's easy to become a webmaster. But, to become a really good webmastertakes a lot more. And this takes a lot of work and study. Many years ago, I started yacht racing in the Caribbean. I had beensailing since the age of 11. I thought that I was an "expert" sailor,but I found that I was really a novice. It's easy to teach someone tosail from point A to point B. BUT, getting from point A to point B inthe shortest possible time is a whole new story. It took me a full yearbefore I won my first race in a field of 10-12 boats. Webmastering is very similar. Sure, anyone with more than three braincells rubbing together can learn HTML, and with all the free editorsout, it doesn't even take that much...

Interested in finding out what the future in yachting will be like? The best way to get a close and personal introduction into diesel electric yachting is through chartering one of these "Green" yachts.

Though I split the coasts during any given year -- and have done so for the past nine -- I must admit there is something quite enchanting about Southern California. Yes, I'm sure, dear reader, you are quite aware of the differences between New York and LA, between the East and the West Coasts, and everything in-between -- so I will not waste your precious time pontificating about the sun and the surf and total commitment to the body beautiful. Rather, I'd like to make a quick point about the differences in maritime recreation. If you are keen on a yacht rental Los Angeles and New York could not be more diametrically opposed. On the one hand -- the typically sunny hand -- renting a yacht in LA is a...

What is a window of opportunity? It's every moment in our lives! You never know if the next person you meet is going to be a life long friend or the most productive person in your business, or maybe both.

With the recent abundance of nautical movies including Pirates of the Caribbean, Master and Commander and Blackbeard it is no wonder that an interest of previously niche audiences has now become popular with the masses. Something that amateurs and experienced sailors can sink their teeth into, are the ship and crew working holidays available worldwide. If you always fancied yourself as the next Captain Jack Sparrow this could be the perfect opportunity to try your hand at sailing some of the most beautiful ships around. From tall ships to "super yachts" you can get aboard and learn the ropes (no pun intended) under supervision while at the same time doing your work load under the sun while passing...

The principal sailing areas in Spain are the Balearic Islands in the east, Costa del Sol in the south and La Coruna in the northwest. The Canaries Islands is also a famous sailing destination. The islands of Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza is called the Balearics. This is a nice cruising area with Mallorca as the nautical center. Over the last couple of years Spain's Mediterranean coast and islands have seen a fantastic development in yachting facilities. There are new marinas being built everywhere, so that you are never more than a few hours' sail from the next harbor. The Canaries - northwest of Africa's coast - have long been associated with sailing and the yearly Atlantic Crossing sets off from...
