Voyager's Bow


     Lest we run aground on our sail to Lovell's Island we best learn of the ship's Forward Watch position and it's responsibilities.
  • Cast off from mooring.
  • Maintain a 360 degree watch.
  • Lower and also bring in the anchor.
  • Raise and lower the Main Sail.
  • Be ready to throw the life ring and line at the call of "man overboard."
  • Safe return to mooring using boat hook.
 I'm throwing in a link on knot tying.




Voyager's Cuddy Cabin



      An adventure is incomplete without plenty of drinking water and good cheer. The Cabin Mate's responsibilities are as follows:

  • Be sure the crew has whatever they need: water, sunblock, binoculars, lifejackets, GPS, tools, boat hooks, hats, ropes, charts, bathing suits, towels, etc..
  • Open and close portholes as need be.
  • Keep in touch with all crew members to be sure everyone is alert.

  1. I'd love to be a cabin mate. Being in charge of good cheer is right up my alley. Fascinating stuff, Charlie.
