Maybe Captain John W. Trimmer should come out with a third edition… [![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v603/natelammers/DF2F2BE8-C9FA-47C0-B6B5-150A51FBAC86_zpsstlduvyh.jpg)](http://smg.photobucket.com/user/natelammers/media/DF2F2BE8-C9FA-47C0-B6B5-150A51FBAC86_zpsstlduvyh.jpg.html) ---

I have to say that the closest calls I have ever had in port fourchon have either been with an odyssea boat or a southern states crew boat. One jack hole decided to do a mob drill in the bottleneck just south of flotation canal and come to an all stop to launch the FRC in the middle of the bayou to recover a lifering! I had to run the mud just to avoid them and caused on hell of a traffic jam. Just a few of the idiots we encounter out here! ---

Any idea if that was the rig he was working, or was it a stranger? I’m assuming he was just running weather patterns, since the damage shown didn’t seem like true ramming speed. Did the semi have to disconnect? Standing by in a conventional boat suck a big weenie. Up and down. Love me some z-drives. ---
