Hello team Dockwalk.
I am an aspiring deckhand currently living in New Zealand and I have been browsing this forum for a couple of days (not in a row) and I cannot find any detailed information on the transition from arriving at a port/harbour to working full-time on a yacht.
Could someone tell me about this process as it happened to them? I.E. from arriving to a major port/harbour to getting day work and finally to being offered a job. How you got the day work, when and how long it took to get offered a permanent job, what crew think of 'greenies' when they approach the boats looking for work etc.
I understand that each boat and each experience will be different but it will give anyone reading this more detailed knowledge of the process.
Thanks a lot.
