What's the best way into this work, standby boat FRC Cox first for proof of relevant experience?

Try these guys

I was offered work in my twenties doing this, should have taken it (but didn't). It was the 60 day trips away I didn't fancy, the guys seemed completely married to the job.

Thanks for that. Someone I know reckons its 5/6 weeks on/off.
