Yeah right . We fuel these guys at Cape Liberty about every other week .
This is the Anthem of the Seas ...the one that got into that nasty storm a week or so ago down off of Charleston .

Negative . Spud , I couldn't leave this boat for more than an hour or two or there would be anarchy .
Or pandemonium.
Or something along those lines where the fan gets-hit on it .

Is it it extremely hard to get into that industry?

It takes some time to get into the Captains slot if you come up through the ranks like I did . I started on Mississippi River tugs when I moved out to Memphis in '93. I was a deckhand for 5 years , then I sat for the Captain Test in '99. Even then I was a Mate for 2 years , then a relief Captain for 13 more .
If you went to one of the many recognized Maritime academies you could shorten that up to being a wheelman in about 4 years . It's equivalent to a BA in the real world .
Some of the better maritime schools are Kings Point and SUNY in NY , and Texas A&M .

Yep, that was it. Had the wrong ship name. Same ship that went through that hurricane all over the news a couple weeks back. Pretty crazy.
