text: anyone know of any online groups for significant others of merchant marines? i know there are such groups for military spouses, etc, who don't get to see their honeys often, but i've looked and haven't found anything for families of offshores oil rig workers, boat captains, etc, who are kept from their families on a regular basis b/c of work. try going to www.local.com and typing in support groups for your area.  i just spent a while looking for you and this is the closest thing i could come up with.  you might get lucky and they'll name one for you.  i wish you luck...
