I told a friend recently that I wanted to quit tankers and find the smallest boat to captain at a Caribbean resort. He said that’s the lats job he’d ever sign up for and sent me this picture with the quote “Would be fun until some guest pissed me off and I got fired for doing this”
Sorry, someone was bound to say it so I thought why not me.
If I had to pick I guess it would be on anything where you have to deal with passengers.

Yeah, don’t think that there is one on there,. . . . but that damn thing followed me all the way to Galveston Bay during my ABS days. . . … I still have SEA SKIMMER “dreams”; and it’s been what, 25 years. . . .
Oh, I have already done that. Not a scotch boiler, but the superheaters on the Lykes Gulf Pride and Pacer class ships did not have sootblowers in the superheaters. Once each voyage, they had to be opened up and the tubes scraped clean by hand. We did one in Hong Kong and the other up a river in Borneo. Lovely work in the tropical summer. . . .

Oh Jeez … reading that reminds me of watching a wiper spill one all over himself on an APL C-8. I still get queazy just thinking about it. The details are a permanent visual and olfactory trauma.
