    No need for references either, with someone who declares "when the master of a vessel tells you to jump, you ask how high"... :rolleyes:

    I'm not sure why she was charged for anything. It seems like everything falls on the master......including her......hehehehe The master seemed to stand to attention, but didn't stand watch...….

    Proper STCW95+ (or the Australian Shipboard Safety Skill Set) ; All crew involved in any safety or muster are responsible while on deck.

    Oh wait, it gets better..

    I luv the hands on quote below.....

    STCW 95+10 stipulates the required competencies associated with different tasks, the knowledge and understanding required to perform them, methods for demonstrating competence and criteria for evaluating it. The Convention embodies provision for "hands-on" training and the development of basic skills through use of simulators, laboratory training equipment and other practical training aids.

    Although experience at sea remains an important part of a seafarers overall career development, it is no longer be enough to "serve your time."

    "Ms Handley was placed on a $1,000 good behaviour bond for six months..."

    Hmm, I wonder what defines "good behavior" and on whose opinion is it based - the captain's? Bet it wasn't her mother's!
