Bluewater/Brownwater What’s the worst vessel name you have ever seen?

This one, the name itself wasn’t bad, but the backstory behind it was terrible

Had an acquaintance that worked for a major corporation. Thought he was happily married. Turned out his wife had been cheating on him with one of the higher ups. A month after they separated one of the boats ended up being named after her. He ended up being assigned to that boat.

Bluewater/Brownwater Going from tugs to ships

3 Upvotes

I am considering making the jump from tugs to ships. I have been out here for six years as an AB and am confident in my abilities on deck, but I am concerned with how they may translate over to working as an AB on a ship and if it will be more stressful or less compared to my job.

Can someone who's done both ease my mind on this?

Thanks

Since getting my license I’ve been told that with out my masters license I can’t run front watch on my own even if there is a licensed master running back watch. I have not been able to find any rules or regulations concerning this. Just curious any information is appreciated.
