200% behind you. I sailed from the yard work more often than not “Semi repaired”. I am home now, and not worse for wear and tear. One of the best port engineers I had was not an academy grad among a slew of them. He was let go because he didn’t have a degree in lieu of the other fellows, and challenged management, which had capable engineers but no where near the talent this gentleman had. He backed us guys up and knew right from wrong. I will only refer to him as “Gene”. Bouchard would have benefitted by his employment,but Morty would not tolerate a man that stood up for himself and the fleet. Maritrans lost a good one. He disagreed with the rebuilding concept of double hulling old barges, and was of the opinion newbuild would save the fleet. You see what happened there in their fleet. Morty did do newbuilds, but severe mismanagement is the result we see today.
