the skipper tells the deck hand when to trip open the hook, therefore
he is responsiable for the deckape.
Like I said, some Skippers handle anchors, some handle tourist on bird
watching boats and some run yachts for lubbers.



The outstanding ones are the ones who get the job done no matter what
is thrown at them. The ones who step up to the plate and have the
courage to swing. Lets face it Doug, some people do not have the
courage to be good skippers.
