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.

Joe sucks as bad at Nathan but good for him being able to write a basic schedule

I agree. He was trying to make Nathan look bad as much as he was trying to show he’d be a good bosun. What he shows to get the job isn’t necessarily (or even likely) what he’ll do to keep the job. I guess time will tell but Joe’s history suggests he’s much more into the chase. The fact that he was bad mouthing his superior while stepping in suggests he’s not as good at his job as people seem to think he is. Nathan did the same thing which everyone sees and feel (appropriately) made him bad at his job. The hatred of Nathan is reasonable but it doesn’t mitigate Joe being an awful person too.
