I'm a deckhand for a company called turn services. A deckhand is a person that works on a boat that does all the "bull crap" work lol. I cook, I clean, and I tie up bardges all day. I stay on my boat for 14 days straight then I go home for 7 days. Its almost like a mini vacation. Its acually verry dangerous! A bardge is about 200 ft long and 35 ft wide. The walkway, also called gangway, is about 2 foot wide. also the bardges are 15 ft tall. Yea a big hunk of metal lol. Well anyway they put cargo like grain and stuff in the bardges that we get. One of the most dangerous parts of my job is to tie up the bardges. All that consist of is taking a 35ft wire cable and wraping it around some bits on the bardge but what if they pop that's gonna hurt if it hits you now won't it lol. It can take your leg off if you let it. Not a good idea well if you have any questions just ask
