Episode #18 Mr. & Mrs. Capt. Joe
In this episode a husband and wife duo share their experiences. Captain Joe started out on commercial fishing vessels in the Pacific Northwest at the age of sixteen. He has gone on to work in the oil fields in the Gulf Of Mexico, harbor tugs, and has since moved on to tow boats on the East Coast, towing barges. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to not be relieved from watch because your relief is dead? Mrs. Captain Joe works with Covid-19 patients and shares what its like parenting with a husband always gone at sea. We also discuss working out and why some mariners can't work on vessels that call on ports in Canada.

A man at sea who wasn't paid his wages for 4 months stands up for himself and his shipmates. A man who stood up to a brutal military dictatorship.

What is it like when the Chief Engineer is paid to silence you at gunpoint? What is it like to be stranded in a strange land where you don't speak the language?
