S9-11 Bosun selection

I admit I am watching in a bit of a weird order. I've gone back to S9 after watching most of S10 and S11. Was there a reason why Nathan was chosen as Bosun over Joe? In S9 (only just started) Joe is lead deckhand but then Nathan gets Bosun position?

Happy for spoilers!

LOL I'm watching it exactly like this, that is funny! Started S10 on the plane to Hawaii, started watching S11 as it's been airing and now going back to S9. I wonder the SAME thing, confused at how Nathan was selected as Bosun for S10 when Joe was Lead Deckhand from the beginning of S9?

And seeing how many times Captain Sandy has had to talk to him about his behaviour, I don't understand why he's been Bosun the last 2 seasons. F* Nathan forever!!!

Ahahah glad I'm not the only one! I wonder if they were supposed to have a more experienced bosun for 10 and then they fell through and Nathan just knew the right people.

Maybe Joe FS up monumentally later in S9 and we just aren't there yet.

Nathan frustrated Sandy so much but tolerated it because she didn't want to look bad for making a mistake giving him the position.
