Nekton boats may come back!!

[KathyV]

I was the chief engineer on the Pilot, would LOVE to see the ship(s) come back. Would be willing to physically help restore it or them

We had some excellent trips on the Pilot - thank you for all the great memories!

Towards the end of my tour on the Pilot, John would buy all the spare parts I needed to keep the boat running. But he seemed to be concerned a lot about fuel and food costs and extensive renovations on the boat. We all knew the plates were rusting thin, in fact some where replaced when we did the engine rebuild in shipyard. That job was night mare, the only good part were the fresh oysters the shipyard crew would share with the boat crew. Still would love to see them working again.

Dayum! They look ready to go from here. Are they still floating?

It was not a problem was I was working there, must have been after my time.

Was on the last voyage of the Pilot with my group. I was the trip leader. Our trip was a disaster. Had to be pulled in by 2 tug boats. Owner promised us our next trip would be free. We were never compensated.
