If you sail across a time zone, do you have to change the deck watch???

Completely vessel dependent....
In Atlantic crossings they would often adjust a watch one hour and a
different watch every day, so it got shared.
Or they adjust every watch overnight by 20 minutes.

But then there are lakers. . .
The boat is on Eastern or Central based on the master's determination.
Sometimes it is where you fit-out and sometimes not. One we fit-out in
Toledo and changed to Central as soon as we cleared the Soo and never
changed back.

Makes calling home or getting to a store interesting sometimes...
