Just patting myself on the back here. But I recently got promoted to Captain either I'm doing something right or they are scrapeing the bottom of the barrell.(is that spelled right? Just don't look right.)

    Excellent. That just means that the pilot and deckhands can now blame you for everything. More $?

    Yeah I bet brother. You live in a busy ass commercial spot. Probably can't walk into a bar without tripping over someone that works boats.??

    Towing companies are always hiring. Even in this economy they can't get enough people. Mainly because not to many people stay around more than a year.

    Yes it sure can be at that. I know I couldn't make it as a deckhand now but I put 18 years decking it can break you down. Been driving boats about 12 years now and somedays I really wish I was back decking.
