"I didn't want to say this, but I think it will be alright. Many sailors cling to the superstition that sailing with women is bad luck, so we get a lot of the leftovers. Fortunately, merchants don't tend to agree, so there is no shortage of business. As to what you can do, the first and foremost thing is following orders. You also get an alotted personal time including time to eat, sleep, and recreation all but guarenteed...barring emergancies of course. Outside of this personal time, you shouldn't need orders to keep the ship clean, make sure the cargo is secure, and other such things. Experienced sailors can probably find a few other things to do, but if you get orders, you are to drop whatever you are doing and report to an officer on deck."
