Job Swap: Boat Maintenance With Eriksen Marine
Updated: Tuesday, November 13 2012, 09:53 AM CST
A big thank you to Grant Eriksen with Eriksen Marine for allowing me to "Job Swap" with him for a day!
Who would've imagined I'd be trusted to help lift a 40,000 lb. boat into place; crawl underneath and paint on a waterproof sealant worth $120 a gallon; and then navigate my way through the parking lot of the boat yard behind the controls of their most important and mega piece of equipment-- a marine lift!?! I don't think I have a very bright future with Eriksen Marine, but I had a great time and fortunately-- I didn't break anything!!
