    Well, We had some work boats.
    Floater was one name. What a fine running pos.
    I can not type here the other work boat names.

    On the radio, they were MS 1, MS 2 and so on.
    One of the Ortega bridge operators knew the real name of MS 4 and would say its name on the radio, Floater Boat.

    I was accused of being a pirate, Yes,,, I am Captain Crapitan and my crew of crappers.

    But in the end, we are all happy to be crappy.

    There is a real boat from Ortega that comms with the bridges,,
    No Stuff,,
    "TITAN URANUS"

    Come to find this is a real ships name based on historical stuff.
    It takes a real swamp redneck to find humor in this.

    I had a couple boats that we named Snafu.
    Snafu & Snafu II,
    Snafu II began to live up to it's name and I thought it was better to retire the name with the selling of the boat.
