Law enforcement. Second career I began at 35. Twenty six years later and at my second and final Dept. Now a patrol sergeant running shifts in a city which borders Seattle. I’ve done plain-clothes, uniformed patrol, detective in the criminal investigations unit and then promoted in July 2017. I have 19 work days left and I’ll retire. :
Pretty much grew up on the water. Snorkeling, spearfishing, surfing, kayaking, outrigger canoe paddling...could never afford a boat in Hawai’i. Like said; I’m a cop. Massive salaries don’t come with the job. And my mom and dad came from a basic, middle class tree. Silver spoons were not used in my house.
We have a very modest 25’ cruiser. It allows us the ability to enjoy the waters of the PNW. It’s very basic, like an RV or camp trailer. Luxurious it’s not. But it’s affordable to someone not oozing cash. Depending on what happens post retirement we may keep it or move on to a larger, used trawler.
