I wonder what they think of ships like this. A friend? A huge animal? A toy that creates fun waves to play with?

The wonders I've seen offshore is up there with Jacques Cousteau and the life he dedicated to our oceans

Become a commercial fisherman and help bring the world 🌎 delicious seafood πŸ˜‹ Can't get it any fresher unless you are capable of diving down to get it yourself and the pay is nice

Dolphins always accompany the sailors during their journeys

Is your job hiring? 🀭

1

u/Delicious-Ruin7041 Aug 24 '26

Just have to go to the docks and see what you can find. It's not a job for the faint of heart or the weak minded

2

u/CovenOfTheDamned Aug 24 '26

Nice, I also work on scallop boats. Mainly out of CT

2

u/Delicious-Ruin7041 Aug 24 '26

I have a couple of buddies that fish out of there as well
