Fred, I was 23, unmarried, out of prison less than 9 months, and the owner of the marina where I worked (who owned the boat) payed me my normal weekly salary to go on a fishing and diving trip with him and his friends. This was because I had my 100 ton Ocean Operator license and Rescue Diver certification, and had navigated to, through, and from the Bahamas with my grandfather since I was 10.

So not only was it an all expense free trip to the Bahamas, but I was getting paid to do it as well.

What was I gonna do? Tell my boss "no"? Are you kidding?
Even my parole officer thought it was a great deal when I asked for a travel permit.
