TrackingAg,

I think you've got "the right stuff" and the crew is lucky to have you as their skipper.

A little about how to handle MOB (especially if it's the captain) and after that I'd make sure no one thinks they can stop a big boat by getting any part of their body between it and a dock. Also watch out for lines and fingers in winches or cleats, anything around a moving anchor chain, or releasing a cam cleat before depowering the forces with a few wraps on the winch. Make sure they know that your name is on the deposit and you have the experience, if you find yourself in a high stress situation make sure they know you are in command and that is not a good time to come to a consensus.

Other than that I'd do some setting of expectations and some thinking about crew dynamics - sometimes that can be a challenge.

I've learned a lot from Captain Ron like making sure they know to watch out for the gorillas when walking in the jungle.
