Steak night and fire/ abandon ship drill today. Turnout gear is no fun. Ultra-covid scba outfit.

Finally, a GOOD chow pic. Reminds me of the boats, especially the red Kool-Aide in the glass!! We called it "bug juice". LOL

All else looks fine,be looking for more such.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Yep, bug juice, drink it or strip the floor with it. In my career I've probably drank 10,000 gallons, lol

More loading pix. Watching rig line up, trim port/starboard list and making sure the ballast dosent come out too soon, hence the boat coming up and banging the loading rig.

Leaving Duluth. The piers. Lift bridge. 45 mins to rinse down, bow to stern, top to bottom. Bet I spray 80k in water a year.

Locks again. Got a better room! Farther away from the unloading system and right next to the galley.

Dinner! Sketti night. Eat it and beat it. On bow watch

Turn of the century, fueling station, boy scout camp and something to do with the Army. Forgot what.

I bet you spray a lot more than that. I pump 85k in Fuel in half a day.

I don’t hold a PIC, and you Union guys will never be welcome in the gulf! LOL

Good to know a good old redneck did not sell out to the man! I also very much respect your profession, not your “job”. But before I call you Boatswain, you better have ink on your knuckles or feet.

Stone port, aptly named. Used to go there on the 600 footer, can't get in with the big boy.

Nope, no tats. Was in the Philippines waiting in line, got bored and never went back. The urge never hit again.. Coxson as well on the lifeboat. My job is mostly daycare for so called adults and fixing shit they break.

Same here, no ink on me. This is my second career, started as a 40 year old green deckhand. I’m headed back to blue water tomorrow,

They got you locked in a motel, or are they letting you "self-isolate"? Well, be safe and post some pics! Throw em in here or start a deep blue thread.
