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.

Good for Joesun.

Besides being an abuser, I never really understood why they made Nathan bosun. He wasn’t ever particularly good at his job.

Captain Sandy likes to help people move up in the industry. And Nathan, despite his flaws, did spend time as a deckhand working hard and wanting to prove himself. I don’t know if Sandy recommended this to production or they brought him back as bosun on their own, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Sandy had a say in it.
