She also happens to be our only regular serving Lady aboard at the moment. the other ladies are on leave. she is a very valuable crew member who also helps look after our sick bay.
Exotic? ... yes I think so, only have to see the way she walks around our pool to Exotic class on the move.

Just making doubly sure that I said 'exotic' .................. renowned as I am for tact, tolerance and political correctness.

"Regular" as in all round good type/sort/bloke/ gal/ (delete as appropriate.)
Also non-eccentric, reliable, trustworthy, honest, turns up to take the watch on time, etc. etc.  Can also enjoy the various scrapes and escapades in the runs ashore that usually end up in mayhem and a race back to GDII with the local constabulary.

The Reader's Digest explanation is that we do not have a refrigeration injuneer aboard, but the operative word is "injuneer". And, indeed, although Tmac might beg to differ, aboard ship it is not like departmentalised union jobs ashore, we (all the crew that is) have to have knowledge of all the systems aboard to some degree. Most refrigeration systems are, as you indicated are electrical driven, but the end result is achieved by motion; either rotary, or reciprocal. The normal pecking order of things is that the "reefer" injuneer is part of the injuneering department, and under the direction of the chief injuneer, in this case, Tmac. It is thus necessary that Tmac have a more than general working knowledge of refrigeration, just as we "deckies" are required to have a knowledge of the limitations of the injuneering applications in general, whether it be the electrical or steam demand for winches, windlasses, cargo lights, pool heaters, injuns, fuel consumption, etc. Even the air conditioning usually falls under the durisdiction of the "reefer" injuneer -- but in the overall view, the buck does not stop with him but passes up to the Captain, then to the Commodore, and then to the Owner. Deckies are also responsible for the condition of Fire Fighting equipment, the safe operation and maintenance of deck equipment, the loading and stability of the ship, above deck maintenance in general, the maintnenace of Lifeboat stores and launching apparatus, the maintenance of both standing and running rigging, together with the administration of pilotage and berthing requirements, plus the clearance of customs and other myriad and varying National requirements. Now, in this day and age, 'ealf and safety expect us to be fully conversant with firefighting all the different classifications of fire, whether chemical, electrical, etc., and to also be well versed in industrial first aid. Then everyone else expects us to actually get them to where they want to go!!! And you thought all we do is stand on the bridge and drink rum.
