Well my first trip out was exciting to say the least! Learned a lot! Saw a lot that hopefully never see again! Hooked the barge up on a channel marker, spooled the wire on the wench and lost our tow (we did recover it though) one week later snapped the bridals lost our tow again! All of this in foul weather,it’s been an experience! None of this happened on my watch I’d like to add lol but I did everything I could to help out! I really do love the new job though and our updated crew is awesome! ---

You will never look at the world the same again. May the winds fill your sails and you leave the binds of shore behind you. ---
