Comments: Finishing up high school in 1983-84 I was a deckhand on this boat.with Hollywood marine. Captain was Gene, can't remember his last name. I remember sitting in the wheelhouse watching the lines as we were docked maybe in Galviston as Hurricane Allicia came thru. A few days later we we in Houston and it was a mess. I learned my lesson once not to get too close to the lines if you got them bound up in a lock. If they start making noises and shrink real fast like a rag you are squeezing our you better move or it will break and knock you down fast. Also when the co captain shoots at gators along the inter coastal the bullets just bounce off, some good times 😀😀

Comments: Just sent you 3 photos I took of the Joyce Hale as it passed up aboard the Goldenrod Showboat. Tell the Captain we appreciated the toot of the horn in tribute to the Goldenrod.

Comments: I worked on the Joey C for Chotin Transportation Company the summers of 1967 and 1968. I got as far south as New Orleans,LA and as far north as Huntington,WV. It was quite an experience for a na\EFve 17 year old Yankee.
