For Deck: Needle Gunning Painting Pushing a broom and then a mop Watching TV Looking busy when you hear a door close because it might be the captain coming down the stairs For the Bridge: Punch a button on a computer screen and watch the vessel move a few meters. Spend about an hour everyday filling forms and logs that nobody is ever going to look at like EPA stuff, Radio Logbook, Voyage Plans, etc. Get up randomly several times during your watch to hit F10 on the GMDSS, bonus points for getting distress signals from over 2000nm away. Hunt the Chief down when you have a question and nobody is answering the uhf radio or house phone, deduct points for going all the way to the rudder room and on your way back up you find him in the galley. ---

Don’t know if splicing and tying bowline knots will be offered, but a Swedish upstart is offering an App for Maritime training: > **[Seably: Democraticising maritime training - Splash247](https://splash247.com/seably-democraticising-maritime-training/)** > > Maritime training resources have consolidated dramatically in recent years with many brands being bought out, limiting choice for shipmanagers and shipowners.
