Hey Craig! As usual, Rudy is giving good advice. The only thing I would add is the old saw - the most dangerous thing on a boat is a schedule. We all know that it’s a long boat ride and impatience could lead to rookie mistakes. The most difficult maneuver for a new pilot to make is a 180° turn. Same for a new captain!
