S/Y Marie

Started as a trial for the Bosuns position they had open, doing winch services, paint repairs and container and stores inventories. The Engineers were doing a full PLC change, so got involved and helped them as they were short handed. I encouraged them to promote their deckhand to bosun, who was not getting the job initially, because she was female.
