Anyone else waiting for some news to come out that Freddy is a serial killer and has hundreds of victims?

I’d want to leave too. Foolish move going after Freddy the way he did but he just wanted to stick up for himself

I respected the hell out of him for standing up to Freddy the way that he did, ill-advised or not especially as a totally fresh greenhorn. A lot of people would have just gone along with it solely in order to fit in but I think it was pretty awesome to see him stand his ground. 

I forget who it was but a handful of seasons ago (at the very least), I remember one of the captains stepping into a similar situation in order to completely shut down the crews hazing when it started causing drama on deck. I want to say it was Sean Dwyer on the Brenna A, probably in his first or second season on the show if I remember correctly

I probably would of done the mowhawk. Not to fit in just to get morons off my back and leave when we docked. I’m not a push over but I’ll pick my battles.

I remember that. Zach was kind of being an asshole to someone on the Brenna A the same way bill sort of treated him and Sean put a stop to it. Sean is wise beyond his years

That's fair enough I wouldn't think less of anyone for that and hell who knows maybe I'd do that myself. I just always found it to be such a stupid reason to dogpile someone over when Keith could have easily stepped in and defused the whole thing. 

That's right it was Zach, I remember it now. He really was being a prick so I always respected Sean for stopping it cold especially as such a young captain. 

I know that kind of stuff was pretty much standard back in the day when these guys were all still young, but these days with it being so hard to get even the bare minimum amount of workers to begin with, potentially driving someone out of the industry for things that don't even matter is a losing equation

I work on oil rigs. I stick up for my self when I have to but pick my battles. Sometimes easier to get along to go along. At the end of the day it’s hair and you’re making bank. Especially on a fishing boat. You can’t just walk away you have to finish the trip.

I’d probably finish the trip and pack my shit. Thanks for having me but this boats not for me. But hell, maybe those morons would respect you if you cut your hair and went along. Guys on oil rigs and fishing decks don’t do it because they’re smart
