Was getting them on the second try and my instructor came over and said " look you doing great and making all your throws but ....you doing it wrong *

People often think they can make a difference by throwing a wrap around a cleat and then try to slow a heavy boat down etc. YOU CAN"T .. seen quite a few folks get hurt trying that crap... don't be one of them Let's go Brandon "Shall not comply" with morons who don't understand "shall not infringe."

The entry-level position on a towing vessel is called a Deckhand on inland towboats or an Ordinary Seaman on coastal tugboats. These crewmembers prepare barges for loading and unloading cargo, build tows and perform basic vessel maintenance and housekeeping duties. Housekeeping duties? Does that include cleaning the head and swabbing the deck ? Last edited by Slick Pan; 04/18/23 02:20 PM.

When you're done the evening meal and clean up, you're off until the next a.m. unless you have to do underway deck work. Last edited by SJA; 04/18/23 06:55 PM.

Some companies give the cook free unlimited reign to shop for the best food products at stores and even have them delivered to the boat :-) Last edited by SJA; 04/18/23 08:03 PM.

You tussle up meals like that and others will be on deck in crap weather . On the dive boat, our cook was from India and when the rest of the deck hands where on anti rust duty, he was in his galley and when they did stowing of tanks etc in port he was strolling on the markets getting things. He was the only deck hand on board that did not have a splotch of paint on his coveralls Let's go Brandon "Shall not comply" with morons who don't understand "shall not infringe."
