Nice, enjoy your 'retirement'!3 week on & off and zero stress by modern standards:

I've also just retired (early) and also considered a dredger as a less stressful option, but ultimately couldn't be bothered renewing my short courses so my CoC has now expired and currently I have no intention of renewing it.
Missing some aspects, although overall I'm happy with my decision - the last few trips I did were pretty stressful and that had a major part in making my choice.

Well it isn’t the ‘glamour end’ of the industry but lots of ship handling & little paperwork is a win in my book.I've also just retired (early) and also considered a dredger as a less stressful option, but ultimately couldn't be bothered renewing my short courses so my CoC has now expired and currently I have no intention of renewing it.

Enjoy your proper retirement, doubtless you’ve earned it.
Next time the wind is howling & you chuck another log on the fire & pour a brandy spare a though for those who haven’t retired yet!

Certainly will, enjoy those Channel/Thames winter days!
The fire and subsequent incompetence regarding who's responsible for putting the fire out on the USS Bonhomme Richard in 2020 that then led to it's total destruction and scrapping.
