"I guess your a bit worried about sailing with a crew of girls, huh" says Alanna, "especially since you know nothing about us, and girls can be difficult to live with at the best of times. In a small space like a boat for weeks on end! You must be thinking we'll be impossible as a crew". She pauses and tries to look reassuring but you get that uneasy feeling again. "Daddy has told us: your the Captain and we're to do exactly as you tell us, and no arguments". She smiles again in an almost coy way. "And we're all experienced". The other girls giggle and chorus in that they’re all very experienced.
Well you think at least their experienced sailors. That was what they meant wasn't it? And they seem willing to take your leadership as Captain.
After assuring them that you'll be a fair master and that they'll enjoy the voyage as long as they work hard you decide that it's time to store your gear in your cabin and then get to know your crew.
