[QUOTE=I.C.U.Lookin;4220326]It's

Now on the brighter side it does treat me very well financially. I absolutely love running boats and being on the water. So there is definitely a love/hate thing.

My license upgrade I'm working on will raise my pay enough that hopefully I will get on a 14-14

And get you that new 42 you want :party-smiley-048:

There will be a Donzi in front of you.

that might be the wrong measure, is it domestic tonnage? Port of South Louisiana is the nations busiest http://www.rita.dot.gov/bts/sites/ri...ble_01_57.html

Yeah. Seems I was misinformed. I remember when I heard it first a few years ago I didn't believe it and research showed it was. Things change. Lol or by a different metric.
