@Bilgerat, did you ever on your cutters have to do a 'Duty Section Only' emergency
departure from the pier - where only the watch members did it?
We did it once on the Venturous. Two of my 3 deckies were at helm and lookout. Duty engineers were in the pit.
JOOD had the Nav and comms watch, OOD had the deck and conn.
Me and the lone deckie had to slip all mooring lines and man the focs'l, where we were to dip the anchor to get underway.
The cutter was fully manned. CO called "Silence' and stopped us from dipping the anchor.
It was hectic!

I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?
