Helmsman

Our first rotation on the Steadfast was manning the helm.

Being a helmsman involves keeping the ship on course and And using the wind to propel the ship using the compass or/and a spotting point.

I found it hard to Keep the ship pointing straight ahead.  While we were waiting in line, we were watching the trawling team bring up sea life. 

I thought it was amazing to be in control of such a huge ship. It was an awesome day.
