as a boat captain I can tell you these guys are flat out tough. That's the most dangerous job on earth. I have nothing but respect for how those guys earn a living.

I have been caught in 16 foot seas and let me tell you its not fun in a 28 foot boat...those guys consider 16 foot seas to be pretty calm. add the cold weather and icing conditions and you have a very deadly environment.

ya they make a pretty good paycheck but they earn every fucking dime. Remember their job next time you get pissy because some retarded model flaked on you and you think your day sucked because of it.

I wouldnt do that job at twice the pay they get, it would kill me....I'm way too old
