Never planned on working on tugs myself but I’m debating on going to the river right now… Got a friend saying there still working there ass off… Hell, while the GOM is in the slop, why not… The way I see it is I got a family to feed, take it however I can get it… And I agree on the $100 a day for deckhands. That’s where I started at and I watched a MANY of “hands”, more like heart beats to fill a crew, come and go while I was there… And that was only 1 1/2yr- 2 yrs ago…
