the skipper is ultimately responsible for the safety of all aboard ...
... period.

I stand with Captain (counselor??) Kermit. I don't know about legally (who does?) but as far as I'm concerned, the buck stops with the captain/skipper. His/her authority is absolute, and so is his/her responsibility.

Watch Captain Ron again. You can work your way up from swab.
Best sailing movie ever. Did you notice that Captain Ron even checks if the engine is pumping water the first time he starts it up???
