The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Are you familiar with EMD 2-Stroke 645 series engines... these are 16 cylinder versions.
We blew a head/liner kit (not an uncommon thing).
The power pack is no biggie... where the morning REALLY gets good, is the 10 man crew that we were supposed to haul to the platform arrived. Turns out, they're supposed to stay on the boat for the duration of the job (estimated 2 weeks)... no groceries were ordered, no cook was contracted...
Max capacity of my vessel is 16 people, it's maxed. Thus far, my Monday has been a full blown shitshow before the sun even came up....
But at least I didn't get struck by lightning! 🤣
Well there’s the positive.

Well good luck brother. Sounds like a grade-a cluster fuck.
 
All I can think whe you guys talk motors etc is pretty boat...nice boat vroom vroom....move stuff back and forth.... I understand a bit but would be lying if I said I knew what you are talking about....hahahahaha
If you've ever seen big rigs on the road, hauling oilfield stuff (pipe, liquid mud, fuel, etc) .... we're doing the same thing at sea. We just haul a LOT more at once.
It's nothing glamorous, just a needed service.
