One of the Captains has gotten the attention of the BP company after some boats hired have had problems. We now have 3 inshore boats for the shallow marsh (BAYOU) and 3 offshore boats for the other areas. These boats are on stand-by 24-7 to take BP reps, goast Guard, (Yep they ran aground in the bayou) specisl news people, and other people directly associated with the oil spill. The basic setup is 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. Anything else will be by request and the response time has to be there.

I just pulled a 7 day hitch starting tomorrow. That should be it for me for about a month. Seeing I live down here and am retired I may be used more. If not I should fare well at this point. I am glad Capt. Peace Marvel made this happen. It was almost a given after the second day of operations down here. Not like looking at a chart and navigating. Many people went out and never were found. Different kind of area and also very delicate.
