Whats the most dangerious or scary situation you have been
in on a
boat?

Ever issue a Mayday?

Ever have a crewmember injured badly or killed?

Ever save a life at sea?

My answers.

Most scared situation was in SW pass of the Mississippi. I
had way to
much cargo high up on deck and almost capsized a 125 ftr
with 15-20
passangers.

Also as a deck hand I almost ran a 225 ft supply boat up
on the beach,
I was coming in the jetties, but managed to be on the
outside of the
jetties ....oppps!

Washed overboard in 12ft plus seas, more thought it was
all over,
never had time to be scared.

No Maydays.

Yes, I've had crew that had his fingers taken off, another
both ankles
broken, Mate cut in half when a hawser parted, saw one
de-capated same
way on a tug pulling our ship, kidney stones, 2 lost at
sea, suicide's,
heat attack, leg smashed off, and a girl gave birth.

Picked up a helo crew and passangers that went down in the
gulf. 4
people. Not sure if I saved them, a shrimper was heading
there too, I
just had the fastest boat, only 1 float inflated and the
chopper was
upside down.
