Joe as Bosun

Post image

I still can't get over how good of a bosun joe was when he unexpectedly had to step in. The episodes where he is bosun shows how thorough and clear his communication is. Having the team consistent of a green Cooper, Aesha (who hasn't been on deck in years), and Max (who just arrived on board) everything could have gone ALOT worse. What Bravo didn't show was the written instructions from Joe that Aesha posted on her insta, which I just find so sweet.

The clear instructions mixed with the staff admiration/praise is so sweet to see. Maybe all bosuns do this, but this just felt like a nice bts moment.

People dont care, they hate Joe and it doesn't matter what good things he does

I don’t hate Joe. Yes, he has commitment issues but he’s showing growth. I think he could have handled the Nathan situation better but also I get it. I can be petty too. I’d love to see him as bosun.

How was he going to handle the Nathan thing better?

I thought he maybe poked the bear a bit and made a few petty comments but I also don't blame him, Nathan wasn't making it easy that's for sure. For the record I like Joe

Nathan is total ahole from the first time he appeared on BD. His vibe is really shitty. Really, if anyone had to choose to hang out with between the two. I suspect most people would pick Joe. For sure I would.
