[QUOTE=captfish;93908]But I suppose all the non union guys down in the GoM run around like jack rabbits?? Not all of us union guys suffer from this so called shuffle![/QUOTE]
Hell, they’re even worse in the GoM. Most useless seamen on the planet down here.
This reminds me of other this vs. that things that come up consistently. I have worked with some lazy bonehead and maritime superstar deckhands/engineers/mates/masters both union and non union. To me it just depends on the intelligence, competence, experience, and work ethic of the individual.

It’s funny how that works! Most useless but still highest paid!!!
[QUOTE=Sweat-n-Grease;93818]I gotta wrench board hanging in my shop. Does that count?[/QUOTE]
Wrench board, feh. My mate’s tool box has 3 tools, channel locks, a hammer, and a bigger hammer.

Hell yea, let’s wonder over to that saloon over yonder, I’ll buy. I got some stories.
[QUOTE=c.captain;93905]I hate to say but the union shuffle if rather epidemic…just go aboard a Washington State Ferry sometime. It’s downright painful![/QUOTE]
My sailing years are now long gone. I sailed both Union and Non-Union, most of the crew on both were dam fine. Looks like times have change, or have they.

[QUOTE=c.captain;93768]then there is the other side of the coin…look at how far this seaman is able to toss his heaving line!
Goddamned seamen on most of the vessels I am on can’t hit the dock with a heaving line after we’re already alongside![/QUOTE]
Just setting himself up to get his wheel fouled tossing it that early.
