And in the case of Seymour, that’s not the only spot. On tugs at least, if you hit Seymour at slack, you’re going to hit Race/Current pass at near max, and Blackney with a bit of current running as well. Point being-you need to manage your own rest, and being up for all three might not be the best option. Traffic and weather are considerations as well. Generally the first mates have it down(the one I have now has run it more than I have), the second mates are learning. I generally get up, but sometimes don’t depending on expected traffic, how well the barge is behaving,and if we’re going through with a bit of current or at slack
