WTF? What attitude towards real mariners are you talking about? Guess
your another self titled Master Mariner right?

And yeah I've ran aground a few time, when you have over a millions
miles under various keel running every port and river on the Gulf Coast
you will run aground many times. You telling me you have never run
aground chief?

I just have a friend up at the USCG office in Houston who can tell me
if your full of **** or not as to holding a Master ticket.

If you have one then more power to you, congrats, ect..

And BTW I got the hell out of the Marine transport business because I
found a way to make in a month what I was paid a year running supply
vessels. I may get back into it some day but as an owner not an
operator.
