Ive been on two boats in a month. First boat was cool had a damn good crew but my lead deckhand was only 5 months in, there was an extra man in the wheelhouse being pilot trained so the actual pilot would come down on tow to show us when we couldnt figure something out. Second boat i got on was constantly bitching at me for being to fast dor the old man i was working with. Needless to say i just got off that boat today and am getting sent to the fleet where i belong. Im glad the captain noticed i wasnt wrong about what i was doing, i just did shit the way i was taught on my first boat.

You’ll learn more in the fleet. The lineboat guys talk sht about fleet guys all the time. But truth is the fleet guys can work circles around the lineboat guys any day of the week. Lineboat guys try to figure out which watch will catch the next tow work that’s 3 days away. Fleet guys know there will be tow work every day.

@@timothyboone5003every deckhand should have to pull 2 hitches in the fleet at the very minimum and at least 2 hitches on a linehaul vessel on a double locking river. The problem is that it's nearly impossible to keep people as it is and even more people would quit if this were the case. As far as who are better workers it's not possible to say because I've been in fleets where the deck crew were absolute machines at building tow and I have been in fleets where 7 people stand around talking while 2 people are actually laying rigging and having to explicitly tell people standing around to tighten the shit. Some linehaul vessels running the lower have crew who can barely build tow and really just sooge and paint for a living while others on smaller rivers have to not only double lock but also build all of their own tow (usually 6 or 15 packs)

You have to love them assholed wires. I believe that is the product of a shoreside personal that has never had to work with the equipment installed. The problem is with what’s known as the D/d ratio. The diameter of the wire being too large for the small drum diameter. Basically the wire is bent to sharply around the drum. Once it’s placed under a load the compresses on the drum side and stretches on the outside. This permanently distorts the wire into a continuous pile of assholes. I believe the lowest recommended D/d ratio for pulling wire is 15 to 1 and 19 to 1 for lifting wires

It happens with boat rigging and stationary wires as well. I think it has alot to do with all the different ways the wires are laid.
@timothyboone5003 Жыл бұрын
@Caboolable You are correct boat rigging and stationary wires can get assholes in them and most of the time it has to do with them being laid improperly. But these winches with the small drums create a whole different monster. They are a continuous pile of assholes. They look similar to a spring. It’s a result of too small D/d ratio.
