Gulf of Mexico 3 of 3
The quickest way to get disillusioned was to be scheduled
to get off the boat and then find out that your relief
had not arrived on the incoming boat - meaning that you
had to stay on longer.
Thus, no one really accepted that they were getting off
until they were well on their way, either via a chase boat
(named after its usefulness in harrassing
shrimper boats)
or the helicopter.
