If the address is out of Florida, I believe that is the children of Lathem Smith. Never heard anything about them. ---

The address is in Florida, looks like a small company. They are looking for an unlicensed engineer. Working Yucatan to Panama? I have a license, and am currently working, and commited to work at least through the begining of the new year… Just thought I would pass it on to any one looking. ---

I have a license, and am currently working, and commited to work at least through the begining of the new year… Just thought I would pass it on to any one looking. Thanks for the heads up. The best way to find out about a company is to ask the company… ---

Tradewinds Towing is Dom and Racheal Smith, and they are Latham’s children. Don’t know much about them other then that. And they have spent a little change on getting the tugs done over. ---
