Captain Lee yeah we got pictures of that crewboat collision over here on our rig nasty nasty but like you said more iron being built less experience there will be more. Our industry as a whole is suffering from accountants who dont want to pay for experience or schools to build experience. Hell you would of though I slapped our rig managers mommy when I told him we needed trainees on my rig. Oh well. By the way keepin touch my personal e-mail on how things are going. Also when we going to panama:) and I dont mean panama florida

“The captain is an experienced 100 ton master…”

Question; what is a 100 ton master? Is it like a 4th or 5th mate? This boat was 100 tons or less? I saw a photograph and it looks larger than the 100 ton boats I am familiar with.

Thank You

A 100 ton Master is a 100 ton Master. I have not seen the pictures though. I would like to see them. I read the article and am familiar with the vessel, the company, the guy that was driving the boat and a few of teh employees. It is a 155’ crewboat built at Neuville 1999.

Lower level licensing to the top:

6 Pack 50 ton Master

100 Ton Master

200 Ton Mate

200 Ton Master

500 Ton Mate

500 Ton Master

1600 Ton Mate

1600 Ton Master

3rd mate, 2nd Mate, Chief Mate, Master Unlimited tonnage. All of these can have an array of endorsements including towing, sailing assistance towing, fishing industry, OSV, inland, oceans, western rivers, tonnage restrictions yada, yada, yada.

Drop me a link to see some photos of the carnage. Thank You

"Maybe you can post something that will help the industry " humor doesn’t help the industry?

It sure has gotten me through some long days at sea.

“Is it like a 4th or 5th mate?” LOL. Where do I sign up for that? Sounds like the dream job I’m looking for.

John, The guest didn’t like me pickin on widdle bitty Lee. He didn’t think it was too funny. Didn’t like my screen name either. Can’t think of a good contribution to the maritime industry at the moment. Somebody already killed Moby Dick,…that was my first thought. Only other contribution that I can think of is to start giving guests proper screen names and the first should be “Capt.Lee’s cabin-boy” or “Mr. Personality”

The problem with most of the crew boat captains is they get in a big hurry to leave the dock and hurry to get back in not realizing that when they get back in they might be 1st up which means the sooner they go out and get back in the sonner they leave again.
