[Selphie isn't one to write study notes down very often but with the Britannia setting sail on the sixteenth, she has a lot of information to commit to memory. Add into the fact that she's run out of notebook paper and the journal is really the only source of paper she has without leaving the house in search of supplies. There have been worse things drawn in the journal in the past so this shouldn't be so bad.
In fact, it may even be familiar to some so if they feel the need, they are more than welcome to make any corrections as a couple of images are drawn.
( a cut that doesn't really exist! )
It's slowly coloured in over time before several lines of text join the images.
Bells!
1 bell = half hour
2 bells = 1 hour
2 bells, pause, 1 bell = 1 hour, 30 minutes
2 bells, pause, 2 bells = 2 hours
2 bells, pause, 2 bells, pause, 1 bell = 2 hours, 30 minutes
2 bells, pause, 2 bells, pause, 2 bells = 3 hours
2 bells, pause, 2 bells, pause, 2 bells, pause, 1 bell = 3 hours, 30 minutes
2 bells, pause, 2 bells, pause, 2 bells, pause, 2 bells = 4 hours and end of watch.
Watches
First Watch = 8 pm until Midnight
Middle Watch = Midnight until 4 am
Morning Watch = 4 am until 8 am
Forenoon Watch = 8 am until Noon
Afternoon Watch = Noon until 4 pm
First Dog Watch = 4 pm until 6 pm and first dinner break
Second Dog Watch = 6 pm until 8 pm and second dinner break
Just a few more days until the Britannia sets sail. Should I bring a compass just in case? I probably won't need it because I'm just relaying orders and I can do that but would it be a good idea to have an extra one just in case?
[Selphie draws in a worried face at the bottom of her notes. She's not feeling particularly confident in remembering all that information. It's her first time on board a vessel since the last mission and most of that was a blur. It all went by so quickly for her back then and the drafts are times she'd sooner not think about.]
Anybody wants me, I'll be at the Battle Dome on the boat simulator.
I've done this before... why am I so nervous?
