The man has it under control. Just a days work. Hear them 12V149s get on it?

That looks only like 3 to 4 foot seas.... not rough at all. But be glad it wasn't rough that day.

I've worked off shore and the deck hand was awesome alone!! The crane operator keep the hook in the water so the chains did hurt him very dangerous working in any surge Manson rules lol

This deckhand is on a suicide mission; alone on deck, crane hook swinging all over him, boat hook caught on his work vest, inside the bight of the soft line… glad to see he’s still in one piece when the boat pulled out.

That was definately a calm day you are having a rough day when stairwells crumple up and 10-15 footers on crewboats

Having worked offshore I give a pat on the back to a lot of crane drivers. If they stuff up, everything stuffs up.

Dude on the stern has his head on straight though. Awesome to see him work like that under those conditions. That is the way I like it!
