[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 6430027, member: 23484"] I suggest James Barrington is currently serving as First Mate/Gunner, under Lady Katrina who is Captain/Sailing Master. That may change. His routine is as follows (it assumes two meals a day, which I believe was standard; "postprandial" is therefore a misnomer, but it's too good a word not to use). 0300-0400 wake, ablutions 0400-0600 appear promptly on deck; breakfast and prayer meeting for crew* 0600-1000 attend to duties 1000-1300 time in cabin, attending to charts, etc.** 1300-1400 postprandial rest (short rest) 1400-1700 attend to duties*** 1700-1900 Dinner with Captain (and officers) 1900-0300 rest and sleep (long rest)**** * this is for crew morale only, and is not especially religious. some need help with drink, some with loneliness. But for up to an hour a day, Jim will spend with the crew singing hymns or whatever. He does not need to lead, but he is the supervising officer. ** He is needed occasionally for ship matters, but this is also the time that he will spend forging documents.
