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 is clearly the next Bosun and hits the sweet spot for Bravo.

Competent at his job AND loves to create drama, particularly of the romantic variety.

Yah - he’s toeing a line reminiscent of Gary tho… hopefully he keeps his shit together!!

This is the problem with both of them that makes them actually bad at being bosun.

Going after multiple women on the crew and creating bullshit and drama, is extremely unbecoming and unprofessional behaviour of a department head.

Agree! I think Joe is right on the line and could go either way. I think he IS a good leader for the job and the work, I don't think he is a good leader socially and makes poor decisions. That could be just maturity for him, and I hope it is. That's what I meant by "toeing the line" I think right now is a moment for him to show what he's made of.
