Obviously, you haven,t seen or heard of a speedboat called MYWAY, from our neck of the woods. It had a world speed record in it,s class of around 225 MPH. It is equipped with 2 helicopter jet engines, and is the fastest boat by far in any of the North America poker runs it enters. The acceleration is incredible, and so is the sound, as it flys by all the other boats. The owners name is Bill Tomlinson.  Use google, and check it out.

I have heard of MYWAY. No doubt bad ass. 
 

There were about 5 DCB wide bodies on the lake yesterday.  They were doing a lot more floating around than they were ripping up and down the lake. 
 

Quite a bit of Horse Power on the lake again this morning. This place is rocking.

The yellow boat I posted above burns 50 gph per engine on average. At WOT its almost 80 gph per engine. 
 

It has separate fuel tanks. One for 93 Octane Premium and one for 112 Race fuel.

We had just crossed the CT on Rte 93. They were parked in the 1st turn around on the VT side. I had noticed him there on the way down to Littleton. 

Do LeMons they said.  It would be fun they said.

Shipyard? Fucking anything and everything. I have painted alongside the owner of the company, organized my deck containers & pressure tested hoses with the Tankerman, prepped my barge for an ABS inspection, fixed a Cat 2.2 generator with the chief engineer and picked up trash with the deckhands. Just to name a few things.

6 or 7 better be fucking 7

I tried to look up Seward, but the satellite views were not sharp enough. I could not make out the dock areas.

Is that kind of work expected of someone with a 500 ton license? 

Could you have refused ? 

Do you sign a contract for this job? 

Of course if you refuse, the owner can tell ya' ta' fuck off, right? 

So, as 2nd mate , are you second in charge after the captain? 

O, is there a 1st mate after the captain?
