  I'm a pilot. Several years ago I was flying an Amphibious Airplane (can land in both water and regular runways) and we got hired to assist a Mega Yacht. One day we flew 2 hours to deliver a box of oranges cause the owner likes freshly squeezed orange juice. That was about a $3600 orange juice. Lol

  Talk about stress.....not taking anything away from the captain...( Ultimate Responsibility)<br> but being a chef on one of these. This guy has to be on his game every meal, every day....or some pompous butt is going to complain about his cream spinach. Or the salad isn&apos;t crisp enough....🙄 <br>Hats off to the chef that keeps everyone fed....

  A viewer @yamahonkawazuki asked a brilliant question and I think it deserves a pin:<br><br>“How does it work with two captains on the chaseboat?”<br><br>The answer is that the two captains simply (respectfully) change roles and answer to each other. The one with the rudder is the captain and the other is the (senior) deckhand. They are professionals and with their level of confidence, they have no problems taking orders from the other (captain). <br><br>The very moment captain Mortlock enters the chaseboat, he will be Mr. Mortlock, and he will answer to captain Dave. <br><br>When they are about to depart from the dock, you will notice that Mr. (senior) deckhand Mortlock reports to the captain of the chaseboat. <br><br>You will notice at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LBFOmy6Uec&amp;t=518">8:38</a> Mr. Mortlock says “Dave, can I show you...”<br>Mr. Mortlock is not barking orders, because he’s not the captain on the chaseboat. If he want to share experience and knowledge, he respectfully asks “Dave, can I show you..”. <br><br>You have just been watching a super professional crew, on a casual day. Even in relaxed moments, they have no doubt who’s captain and who’s (senior) deckhand. <br><br>The very moment Mr. Mortlock enters his own ship, captain Dave will address him as Captain Mortlock. <br><br>In the army, in the navy, everywhere when professionals need to cooperate flawlessly, we have rules for all these situations. And these two captains go by the book. When they do that, they keep the boat, the crew, and the passengers to maximum safety. <br>At sea, safety is always priority no. 1. So they do all this change of roles (as captains) without thinking. Change of role becomes second nature to these professional captains. <br><br>Ohoy!

  I can&apos;t even afford the boat they went to get the provisions in.

  The chase boat captain has clearly been playing too much Call of Duty.

  You asked how I provision. My wife is on vacation, so this morning I went to Walmart and bought tv dinners. But, I did taste your chef&apos;s cooking when I ate lunch just now. Thanks.

  I can thoroughly appreciate the logistics and planning for provision. In my maritime career, starting as an unlicensed deckhand for a marine service company. One task was to deliver provisions, lubricants and items for the bosun locker for 1mm bbl oil tankers. &nbsp; My very first provisioning at anchor I was the designated hand to breakdown and pass 37 pallets of goods over a transverse deck pipe to be reloaded on the other side on another pallet on a pallet truck and wheeled to the house to be inventoried and stowed by the chief steward. &nbsp;<br><br>After obtaining my USCG 100 ton masters license I was tasked many times with underway replenishment. This entailed my boat and the ship matching 5/7 knots while my deckhand attached the cargo nets pre loaded with 3-4 pallets to the ships crane There was great pressure because the pilot was on board the ship and two tug assist and the ship was ready to sail for sea. Once we had to do two loads of a total of 42 pallets in the Los Angeles river. Hmmm, two heads of lettuce overboard. How about 3 cartons of cherry tomatoes spilling on deck because the deckhand (I wonder who) neglected to attach one loop of the cargo net. We, the captain and I retrieved all of them. From then on I mentally counted each loop while attaching to the crane hook.
