One of my last trips the guy asked me to buy him coffee. Lmao.
I managed to land on my feet with a job offer a month and a half later. But I know not everyone was as fortunate. Rough times.
The Captain wanted you to buy HIM coffee? Unreal! Where were you based? Did the skipper have too many girlfriends down south to ask you for coffee?
That's a bummer that the third listers / BTL are falling apart. I had an uneasy feeling reading some of their post on "the line" but I guess it doesn't hurt to be realistic.
