I don’t want to disclose too much info, because I don’t want to cost the guy his job, or start any problems, but I recently found out a deckhand I work with is a sex offender. Are sex offenders on boats a normal thing?

First, I used to be in a Motorcycle group that dealt with abused kids and have heard enough stories and most of them would turn your stomach! It’s a long story as to why I’m no longer a member but here’s the short version, they decided they anted to be more like a MC (Motorcycle Club) and that was n…

I totally agree that the label “Sex Offender” alone is hard to call as to severity. The guy COULD have been a serial rapist that did hard time. Or he could be someone who had nude pics of his teen age girlfriend on his phone. You just can’t know from the label alone. The significance of that, I …

A crew member was taken off a vessel, jailed & got 5 years for kissing his neighbor’s young daughter. In Pattaya & Phuket you’ll see many men with young boys

Man, ain’t THAT the truth. The lifestyle seems to be conducive to the stranger folks. . . .

Or any number of southeast Asian countries. . . .

We have had more than one individual nailed for child pornography aboard ship. If you are going to do something that horrific, keep it off the SAMM server, please. Yes there were agents waiting for him on the pier
