I'm talking to two companies right now. One tugs fuel up and down the Mississippi. The other goes back and forth between rigs in the Gulf. Both are exciting. This could be the start of a real career.

Ah so literally offshoring. I now recall that you said you were trying to get on a tugboat when I shared that awesome read about the tug family, but I couldn't tell if you were serious or not.

Because in a sense I'm waiting for a call too in that if I was called tomorrow and asked to join a tug crew I probably would without asking any questions.

You and me both! It's great pay. Free room and board for a month with no expenses followed by two weeks off. It's kinda my dream job. I'd love to get paid rolling up and down the Mississippi. I hope it's as romantic as I imagine it to be.
