Has anyone here taken the WA State Pilot test, or one similar? I’m planning on shooting my shot for it and have been studying pretty hard for it. Would love to DM and pick your brain over it.
I’ve combed through the website and have a good idea of what it will be like, topics, types of questions, etc. I’d like to see as someone who’s been through it what your expectations going in were vs how it went in reality and any surprises.
They seem to have pretty frequent openings for trainees so could probably reach out directly to PSP and get people to answer questions/could provide some contacts for you. I sailed with one captain who is training currently with them. When I talked to him about it briefly he mentioned a lot of lapware and reading the suggested books they have on their website. Good luck with everything. Seems like a great area/pilotage organization to work for.
