[QUOTE=usmariner;83506]Again, the purpose of this post was to determine options for entering the Gulf as I’m looking for a change. Retired fisherman with 7 years of towing experience…been there and done that. Let’s see what the badasses down in the gulf have to offer. It sounds like I may be able to speak my mind freely in the gulf… I like that!!![/QUOTE]
Maybe you’ll be able to speak your mind but you got to learn to talk dat coonass if’n you be goin to da Fooshon ta work on da boats dare!
[QUOTE=usmariner;83506]I like that little quote. Nice view. However, it seems as though you’d make me out to be a push over. I can assure you that I am no push over. Not physically and certainly not emotionally. When certain individuals find that they have been assigned to my vessel, they squirm and then whine to the front office for reassignment. In the old days, I could tell a guy to pack his shit and get the fuck off my boat NOW and they’d heed my word. I’d even bounce them off my boat using one arm if I found that technique necessary. Nowadays, they’re weak and if you swear at them…or even look at them wrong, oh boy, they go and cry to mama about how the skipper hurt their feelings. Sensitivity issues. Times have changed. I came from the fishing industry…23 years…and let me be the first to tell you, you don’t make it in that industry 23 minutes, let alone 23 years if you’re a push over.

You’re right I don’t know what you’re up against. I was just surprised it was so hard to get rid of people. I’ve not had any problems,it sound like you are not being supported by the office. That’s a tough row to hoe.
Good luck.
