@ Ventuari,, I set that as a given and did not mention it !!!
but I know some officers,,you drop anchor,,they switch music on and navigation is over
I would not wonder when exactly that what happened !!!!
Same thing with giving alarm in such cases, most OOW,s calling the master and waiting until he is there
I have hat in the standing orders on the bridge !!!!
Also personally Standing orders of the Master is a joke generally,,all what happens there that I tell
or have to tell the OOW,s that they have to do the job of the OOW,,like check positions,,keep look out etc,,, thats their JOB and what they lerned before and in the nautical schools (at least so far the theorie!!!),,I should not have to tell them that ! But then,,if something goes wrong I have lawyers on my back because I did not tell the OOW to keep look-out for example!!!!!
