[QUOTE=Fraqrat;156617]What about a rewrite where captain Phillips saves everyone or c.captain as the know it all Petro engineer who runs around saying I told you so.[/QUOTE]

Richie Phillips is a widely known prick. At least heā€™s retired now and can longer single out young 3/Ms and constantly berate them.

As far as CC goesā€¦

Cruel man, just plain cruel.

I hear thereā€™s already a black market for genuine spit cups to be used in the movie. Very low key, but see the guy in the Fourchon Circle K shitters.

He pays extra for bottles without paper towels shoved inside.

PORT FOURCHON RELEASES MASTER GROWTH PLAN

More unlit dredge pipes to clog the works. Itā€™s interesting seeing the place grow though. I canā€™t imagine what it was like before Fourchon.

They plan on doubling the width of the channel too? Where is it 27ft? Looking at my depth sounder, it seems that 22ft or so is the max depth. At some docks I canā€™t get along side at a 17ft draft! I didnā€™t see anything about a second entrance, guess thatā€™s no longer an option. I think the service and repairing of rigs is a long shot, thereā€™s no space to back them into a drydock

Thanks for the very good post, Ms. C. This subject is worth a thread of its own so we donā€™t hijack this one.

Thanks, water.
I have heard many marinersā€™ discussions regarding this very same topic.
Thatā€™s why I thought I would post this article.
I agree many will appreciate a thread of its own.
Good idea.

Spring time weather brings in many tourists to our area from all over the world.
Thought I would share with you a youtube video of one of my guests that recently stayed at " A Chateau on the Bayou B&B".
He was entertaining and refreshing to have, here, this past week.
Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

This was posted in the lafourche daily comet newspaper, today. It does not mention anything, else.

AB would imply outside boats in my opinion. The ad I saw made it look that way.
