The weekend relaxation is over and the
bearded pirates are back at work. Aside from our Watch duties, as mentioned
earlier, we all have regular extra duties to
perform to keep ESCAPADA tidy, functional and in ship shape. It's not just catching and cleaning the
fish we catch, telling each other good stories and jokes or
putting sun lotion on each other's back, but much
more serious and important seafaring tasks. Just like in
the Navy, there must be discipline, order, regime and
total cleanliness. All of our jobs and
responsibilities are clearly defined and posted in the galley on the
wall to read and follow.
As the Commander of his yacht, Captain Flapole has
established a set of rules to ensure the health and safety of the
crew. "The Captain's Word is Law " Next
is the good order and safety of ESCAPADA and
all her equipment. Finally is the passage planning, course, sailing tactics
and thus the sail configuration to get
maximum speed from the existing wind, current and wave
conditions.
