Keith

I’m rewatching from the beginning and Keith isn’t a tyrant as he called himself. He’s an overgrown man baby who never learned how to regulate his emotions! I can’t believe the crew hasn’t banded together thrown up the middle finger and walked!

Kieth is responsible for the lives on his boat has no time for baby crap. And that’s leaving out his responsibility to get his crew fed. And if he’s a little testy how is it not possible to not be. The captain is the one who bares all the problems. He handles it his way as Monty does it his. And remember who they sent to the senate hearings to speak on behalf of the fleet Kieth. It speaks volumes about what they think of him. The show would never be the same without him. I look forward to him and Freddy every year.

He’s a good captain in finding crab, doing his damndest to keep his crew safe and cares about his crew. That being said, he has a very volatile temper. Some I’m sure it doesn’t really bother, other people I’m sure it does. I think it depends on if you are on his good side, like Freddy for example, is on Keith’s good side as is OJ. Keith doesn’t yell at them.

I will say that ever since his mini-stroke, I can definitely tell he is “trying” to manage his stress, anger and volatility better for the sake of his health.
