Bob might get lucky and get a supply boat working production. But if
they are working with a drilling rig, deck hands work can be grueling.
100 degree days inside a 120 degree steel tank shoveling cement into
bucket after bucket, and pulling it up 15 feet and dumping it over the
side, times 6-8 tanks can make for a very long day. And mad can be a
deckhands worst nightmare depending on the wind and the mix. It's
good work if you are not on deck anymore.



I can tell YOU haven't set foot aboard a workboat for at least twenty years,
Joe.

Nowadays they use pumps to transfer the contents of mud tanks. Get a clue,
dude. Pumps work MUCH CHEAPER than a deck monkey.
