No words can ever describe this feeling. None.
This afternoon I passed my UK maritime coast guard Master Mariner unlimited examination. For my non- mariners, This is the highest level of competency in the merchant navy.
It still feels like yesterday when people told my parents they have never seen a woman in Kenya if not East Africa stay at sea long enough to attain a master mariner.
That became fuel to my fire as I deferred my law degree!
