Since David is Beryl’s favorite person, she likes for him to stay close to her when we’re underway and this can be a problem. When watchstander David is inside the charthouse, no problem, but when he gets ready to go outside, lifejacket on and ready to go, Beryl clings to his leg and says in no uncertain terms “No! Don’t go outside, stay here with ME!” This leaves the watchstander in a quandary — it’s so nice and comfy inside with Beryl, do those sails really need to be adjusted? Maybe not.
