    Hopeful ship was at shore still at the time? Would suck to be fired while out at sea. Awkward ride back.

      We were in Puerto Rico for our winter maintenance period, just starting to bring on crew for the sailing season. I’ve never worked on a boat where people drink underway and I don’t think I’d want to.

      On boats you usually don’t get told you’re fired until you reach port.
