Ryne Robello left CMA after graduation and headed south briefly to enjoy a break with friends in Australia. Upon his return he found work right here in Honolulu working aboard the University of Hawaii’s research ship. He eventually moved on and is very happy working for Young Brothers today:
“Aloha Captain Ed!
I bounced around working the UH research vessel Kilo Moana for a few months and taking night mate jobs at MMP but have since landed at Young Brothers. I got a spot as a second mate on the Hoku Loa doing the Molokai/Lanai run weekly and have been loving it. Best job I could think of!
Me and Duke (Quitevas) actually got hired on the same day. Capt. Jeb Baker and Capt. Chris Kojima are two good captains over here plus a bunch of mates who are CMA graduates.
Mahalo for everything,
Ryne”
Here’s a picture Ryne that he sent to us taken just the other day on the back deck of the tug KAPENA GEORGE PANUI, while outbound from Honolulu Harbor towing a barge behind.
Is this awesome … or what?
