Skipper Brian takes 8pm to midnight watch, he needs to be available at any time with a  moments notice.Crew Mark has the midnight to 4am slot known as the graveyard shift and I(Galley slave, crew etc.etc.)have developed an inner clock to wake me at 4am  for the 3rd watch which includes an awesome sunrise every day,well worth the effort !
