He additionally appears to have a pleasant familiarity along with his boss, Captain Kerry Titheradge. At occasions, the 2 really feel extra like good mates than co-workers. They each share inside jokes, fist bumps, and a heat regard for his or her residence nation. So, what on the planet might have brought about a rift between these two? Let’s have a look.
Ben wasn’t Kerry’s first choose for Bosun
The meat all began when Captain Kerry instructed Leisure Weekly that “Ben wasn’t my first option to be in that place, however he does know the boat nicely.” Yikes!

So, perhaps the 2 aren’t all that completely different in the case of their management model.
