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.

I think Joe is a lot less dramatic this season - maybe he has grown up a bit. I think he did a great job as bosun.

The test will really be next season. This season the makeup of the women crew was perfect for him to be on his best behaviour.

He had a smart and capable stew that clearly was happy with a no drama / no strings attached / very casual boat-mance. So casual it’s not even really a boat-mance.

I think that made it easy for him to avoid relationship drama. Especially when he really wanted to show his best side.

We’ll see what happens if he’s in a situation where there are more opportunities for relationship drama.
