I was Deck Boss in the Commercial Tuna Boat in the Pacific, and American Samoa, Africa and South America, Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Panama, experienced Deck Boss with supervisory responsibilities, direct the deckhands as they carry out the sailing and fishing operations. Before departure, the deckhands load equipment and supplies. When necessary, boatswains repair fishing gear, equipment, nets, and accessories. They operate the fishing gear, letting out and pulling in nets and lines, and extract the catch, such as cod, flounder, and tuna, from the nets or the lines' hooks. Deckhands use dip nets to prevent the escape of small fish and gaffs to facilitate the landing of large fish. They then wash, salt, ice, and stow away the catch. Deckhands also must ensure that decks are clear and clean at all times and that the vessel's engines and equipment are kept in good working order
...and lots of more.

Your responsibilities in an Emergency situation.
Vessel maintenance - Interior
One of the responsibilities that consumes much of a deckhand’s time is vessel maintenance. Every watch, a deckhand has designated “cleanup” to do if he or she is not involved in other activities such as tow work. Usually each watch will be responsible for different areas of the vessel. Jobs include:
· Making the captain's, pilot's and/or the engineer's bed.
· Cleaning the captain's, pilot's and/or the engineer's living quarters and bathrooms.
· Cleaning the galley.
· Washing leftover dishes.
· Cleaning the wheelhouse.
· Cleaning the deck locker.
· Cleaning the galley stove.
· Washing dirty linen.
· Taking out the trash.
· Waking the next watch, waking the cook if needed, keeping fresh coffee made, etc.
Vessel maintenance – Exterior Vessel
Cosmetic maintenance is another activity you will certainly be involved in. During the spring, summer, and fall, much of the maintenance to the exterior of the vessel is performed.
When the weather permits, you’ll be soughing, chipping paint, and painting the exterior of the vessel. A good deckhand takes pride in his vessel’s appearance. After all, your vessel is an extension of your home. Exterior work includes:
· Cleaning walkways on barges.
· Checking and tightening tow.
· Checking barges for water.
· Checking navigation lights.
· Putting out and taking up lines.
· Painting numbers on barges.
· Removing old fouled or broken rigging and lines.
· Replacing broken stationary rigging and winch wires.
