Doing the right thing

Sometimes you've just got to bite your lip. This morning a call came in from Dispatch on the East Coast - a member with a fouled prop at Neah Bay (80 miles from here) called for a diver.

While Vessel Assist approved the run and a diver (probably 11-12 hours round trip,) I suggested a local diver could get the job done in a more timely basis.

Twenty four years of work with the Boy Scouts of America inculcated a standard of ethics that is important.

Even with the number of call being down a bit, due to the economy, I know that folks remember us for making the right call.
