What you dont want is someone who smokes, drinks to excess, farts down below and smells.[/QUOTE]

I've sorted the smoking but the rest is work in progress

MUST OBEY ORDERS e.g.:-
(Long story cut short for sake of space etc.)
Boat approaching mooring, running down-wind with main fully out, lady-crew on foredeck with boathook.
Helm: "OK Darling, pick-up the mooring".
Foredeck crew (FDC). "OK."
But she can't hang-on to it (viz boat running down-wind).
Helm goes back up-wind and approaches as before.
Helm: "This time hang-on to, please."
FDC picks-up, staggers back past mast - has to let go.
Helm goes back up-wind and approaches as before.
Helm, shouting: "Right, you stupid woman. THIS time HANG-ON to it."
Helm goes back up-wind and approaches as before.
FDC picks-up, staggers back, passes helm and exits over stern HOLDING MOORING BUOY

I kid you not, I witnessed this in the Percuil River (St. Mawes) some years ago on a very quiet and calm evening. Heard every word.

THAT's the sort of dedication needed in a crew..................................

If you DID use a boat hook, she might feel very deflated if you poked it in the wrong direction! :eek:
