That old KPer was still there my plebe year. I wish I had got on it more before they got rid of it. I wasn't a fan of the TAGOS boat that replaced her. The original is still around up on the lakes having been converted to an ATB.
I use brown water to mean pretty much everything limited even if you were offshore and the water blue.
EMD-645s are probably my favorite engine. That or a Colt-Pielstick but that is more of a love hate thing.
My KP education was definitely better than I realized at the time. I went sailing on tugs after 10 years shoreside and other than a few first few days jitters I managed just fine. The owner of the company even called me after I left to try and entice me back. This after saying all KPers were A-Holes the first time I met him.
