Surprised people eat more than meat and spuds, or moose?

they dont go skinny fast, cant get into a survival suit so they die
quick after you get them on the raft. what else you gonna do with
them?



Anyway, the waters pretty warm, hence your ability to skunk dem
southern boys into a cold water survival suit.
Working deck on a supply boats in winter the yankees could not
understand wearing a P-Coat and shorts. The ones that were not so dumb
caught on...eventually.

same comes the other way. southerners arriving in dead horse with
nothing heavier that a cotton shirt and chinos. if they dont die,,
eventually some figure it out. I worked both places; make no misteak
there is a class of west, east and northern sailors that i find just
as bloody lothsome. most are involved in "training" and "safety". we
call them dock lawyers (no actual experiance but lots of ideas and
law).

Sounds like a union thing.

its this stupid idea that because you have passed a paper test
you have any idea of the reality of the actual experiance. the group i
was in was composed of mostly unlimited tonnage ticket holders IRRC
the combined sea time was someplace around 150 years in almost all
oceans. our "instructor" had ten years working in the gulf of mexico
and a sheet of paper that said he passed a written instructor test. I
have a sweater that has more seatime and more experiance in the tight
spots.


Some are better at teaching than doing.

Bob should be more worried about getting squashed, hit, cut, burned or
gassed, cold water is the least of his worries.

no diffrent than on northern boats. the only change is that many of
the folks he will be working with down yonder have a sheet of TP that
says they are skippers signed by eddison schwest. *no skill requierd.



I dont know about that, but we had a hundred from the great lakes, or
fresh out of King's point that thought they were hot ****. Not to many
PNW people came to the gulf needing a boat.

To bad you guys can't keep a fleet going that can support you and
your familys.

Yall have to come "down yonder" to makes da money and feels bad that
the boys with sea time on dem Edison Chouest not "eddison schwest"
boats teech you stuff you allready know.

Show me a nicer crab boat that a Chouset boat

I'd rather earn sea time from Edison Chouest than most anyone. My wife
did get sea time on a Chouest seismic boat.

*The helo egress school is fun, did it while working for Mobil. Once
fished out the crew of a bell Ranger. Only one pontoon
inflated,classic roll. We tried to tow the helo to a crane but it tore
in half and sunk.
