Now In this part of the guide I'm gonna break down some of the tasks you can expect to do during your first couple of weeks on board for all of my fellow yachtie divas out there, who want to work on a boat even though they know absolutely nothing about them. Trust me… I know all about that! These tasks may sound simple enough, but never over estimate a diva… Nothing is simple for us. So I’ll be doing a quick little overview with suggestions and advice about topics like: Different Sections of the Boat Boat Terminology and Lingo Navigating Through the boat. Washing and Drying the Boat heads, beds and turndowns, Cushions , Covers, pillows and towels and other random things that you may find useful when you;re just starting out. ~~ So… Hopefully Watching and reading these quick little tutorials will prevent you from looking like a complete dummy head in front of all of those yachtie hotties, like I did. AAANNNDDD It may help prevent you from potentially damaging the boat as well. What up Homiess, this is the 2nd video of “Yachtie Diva Training” which is part of the “Free guide to getting an entry level job on a yacht” which you can find at WakenMake.com. Yachtie Diva Training is structured around the following perceptions of how divas learn, based on my own experience: I like to call this, the “Take it down break it down method. First, We’ve gotta Take it Down To a level that divas can readily understand. We need a thorough explanation of what we're about to be doing even if it is the least bit complex... Which is just about everything. If necessary, explain to the person who's training you that it's best if they pretend as though they're teaching a 1st grader. Use very basic terms, and don't overload us with information that isn't crucial to the task at hand. Break it Down We need to understand the entire concept behind what we're doing, and why. Otherwise, we just don’t get it, and we probably won’t do it well Like… Drying the Boat for example. Why is the boat wet every day? Why do we dry it every day? What happens if we don't? Visual examples are always nice…. And Most importantly... What are all of the ways I could potentially screw this up? NEXT, We need a thorough demonstration for HOW to dry the boat, followed by our own practice* in front of the trainee. Just watching someone else do it is not good enough, you need to do it yourself, and then you need to practice it over and over again, it's all about repetition~ So that’s the idea behind it. We need a little extra help in the beginning ~~~... At first every task you do is going to seem completely alien to you, but after doing them over and over, you’ll start to get the hang of it. ************ My first full time job on a yacht I was hired as a deckstew, but like I’ve mentioned before I knew nothing about boats, and at first I think the guys on deck really over estimated my abilities…Either that, or they were just fucking with me... (walkie talkie) they’d be like “Baker, go grab the shammy mop from the aft starboard locker on the boat deck and then come down to the stern and dry the teak on the transom… and I’d be like….”whaaat?” Even if by some tremendous feat I knew what a shammy mop was, and where that locker was, the chances that I would have been able to OPEN the locker, would have been slim. This is how it was for me everyday… a series of tasks that left me utterly perplexed when I tried to execute them. The good thing is, I know what it’s like to start from scratch, knowing nothing. I CAN HELP YOU. Other people don’t realize that some of us need to take a back before we can move forward, before you start showing me how to rinse the bow, how about you show me how to hook up the hose… and then turn it on (oh apparently you don’t “turn them on” it’s called “open the valve” Wait do that again, One more time… OK let me try If you like these videos please subscribe below because I’ll be adding more every week.
