I will grab you some chow line in case you need to secure anything.

True story,76 Med cruise had some cadets aboard as well as some new crew. Over the PA came the directive to “Set the mail buoy watch!”. Head up to the 04 level and there he stands all tucked in for GQ, wearing a full life jacket, a gunfire support helmet over his sound powered phone and binoculars around his neck. People are trying to be surreptitious in taking his picture. He stands there scanning the surrounding ocean. Just when you think he is the most clueless fellow on history, over the PA comes”Now relieve the mail buoy watch!”. A few minutes later another fellow shows up dressed the same. He takes the binoculars and phones and starts looking. Ah we were young, and sailors!! I hear they trapped a sea bat under a box on the bow if you wanna see it...
