On holding tanks, we had the three youngest kids responsible for holding tanks while we were out with our crew of 10. They ran through the boat like winged monkeys and emptied the holding tanks whenever we were offshore. That led to a funny lesson learned about opening the tanks while downwind.
I had to "remind" crew a few times about not being between the boat and anything else. Its scary to see crew try to fend off a downwind piling even though there is a well placed fender between their hand and the piling. A quick yank and a visual demonstration corrected that young crew fast.
Cheers, RickG
