1 day agoCleaning the underside of rich people’s boats. I didn’t have access to actual scuba gear so I would snorkel around disgusting harbors, holding my breath and scraping/scrubbing barnacles off by hand.
Wasn’t bad money, but it was gross. People weren’t supposed to release their sewage in the harbor. But they did. Thankfully only did that a couple times before finding much better work.
Supposed to pay for someone to come around and pump it out. But this was the Caribbean, you don’t get in any trouble as long as you can afford the bribe.
