2010 Cruising Rules
Safety is paramount.
Know the location of and how to use:
Dock the boat with lines and cleats only. NEVER try to stop the boat with your hands, arms, legs. When the boat is moving, always inform the Captain (Lee) before going onto the swim platform. Follow Captain’s orders.
Keeping The Prize operational is essential.
Use MINIMAL toilet paper (2 sheets for #1, 4 for #2 MAX). For additional cleaning use wipes (but put wipes in trash, NEVER put wipes in toilet). Alternately, use all the TP you want, but discard it in a plastic bag and take bag off the boat to trash bin. OR, use the marina toilet. Put ONLY human waste and TP used for such in toilet. Put everything else (wipes, tissue, tampons, gum, etc., including TP used for nose) in trash bin. To flush toilet, press lever sharply to floor until contents clear (at least 3 sec); release sharply. Release knobs and hidden hooks to open most drawers and doors (don’t force open). Open dishwasher with two hands; leave door slightly open; do not close completely. If you notice or create damage of any kind, inform the Admiral (Sher) ASAP.
Preparing to move The Prize is important.
Close portholes and toilet lid. Store all items inside drawers and cabinets, secure stern side. Close and lock drawers and doors (buttons) and refrigerator and freezer (pins). Open blinds and curtains. Empty dishwasher of breakables. Ensure glass containers in fridge are secure and not exposed.
Docking The Prize is challenging.
Follow the Captain’s orders. Remember... use only fenders, lines, and cleats. NEVER try to stop the boat with your hands, arms, legs. Communicate clearly. Remember to inform the Captain before going onto the swim platform.
Keeping The Prize clean and neat may ensure another invitation.
Leave shoes at the Salon door; wear socks, house shoes, or go barefoot inside. Keep the common area clean and tidy: if you open it, close it; if you mess it up, clean it up. Store personal items (books, cameras, sunglasses, etc.) in your cabin, not the salon. Drink colored (e.g., red wine, sangria) liquids outside. When you finish with a dish/glass/flatware, rinse it and put it in the dishwasher. Rinse the sink after pouring coffee or tea into it. When you shower, squeegee and/or chamois. Cover hands (or other body parts) before touching suede walls and ceilings. Keep the duvet on top of your body (don’t sit or lie on it). Use decorative pillows for decor only (don’t lie on them). If no crew, depart leaving your cabin clean with towels, sheets, pillowcases on the floor and duvet & pillows loosely on the bed.
Paying for this adventure.
The Admiral and Captain expect to pay for running the boat (boat, fuel, dockage, crew). Visitors providing food and drinks are greatly appreciated. |
