Bon Voyage to me

I am going to test the staff and the ships emergency procedures and shout man overboard down the hall. I will pretend that Lena has fallen off our exclusive balcony to see the response time. I have a stop watch to time it all.

What happened?
 
I told the captain I was happy at the outcome and he just said. Pppffftttt and walked off so he seemed happy enough too
 
was it because you said man overboard? I believe the RYA have gone all woke now.

It’s person overboard and you aren’t allowed to call it seamanship, anymore.

Many years ago the harbour master at Barmouth died whilst working on moorings in the winter, death by drowning, a long time before his body was eventually recovered. Anyway, long story short, the natural successor for the job was the assistant harbour master, the only snag was that he was English and couldn't speak Welsh so he didn't get the job.
More than a few people pointed out that if you were at sea and forced to make a Mayday call, you weren't going to **** about speaking Welsh.
