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.
