heads. gota stay humble ya know.

Not to be too noisy but what is the pay scale on a work boat? A day
rate for days worked? Or hourly? Monthly?

On the rigs it was a day rate for every day, or part of a day, on the
rig. Didn't make any difference whether you were hiding down in the
engine room or working 24 hours straight cause something broke - same
rate.

Cheers,

Bruce
