The Wattpad News

Sat. June 25th, 2016: Talking with Dawn Treader crew! (wrightstory interview)

Lead reporter, Felicity Annora, of The Wattpad News was able to go visit and have a chat with the crew of the Dawn Treader  about upkeeping a ship with Prince Caspian as Felicity's guide. 

"There's a lot of work put into a ship," Caspian explained. "Loosening or tightening the sails during a storm is one of the most dangerous jobs because there's a very high chance of getting thrown off the beams and getting hurt, while one of the most easiest things to do would be washing and/or scrubbing the deck." 

Tavros the Minotaur had heard the last part of Caspian's sentence, and told Felicity in confidence without his captain around that scrubbing the deck was harder than Caspian made it sound. "During the day, everyone is constantly walking back and forth while doing their duties- stepping in the area you're washing and making it filthy all over again. It's nearly impossible to get the deck completely clean. My personal experience is that working in the kitchen is the easiest job to do, even though it's the most stuffy and unliked rotation."

But out of all the great advice that The Wattpad News  received today, the words of a miniature swordsman really reasonated with Felicity even as she was preparing to go back to the office.

"...The most important upkeep of a ship is the upkeep of the crew's relationships," Reepicheep said while hanging on the net leading up to the crow's nest. "When you share a small space with many people, there's a tendency to become easily annoyed at everyone and everything. So we make light by cracking jokes and release tension with sportmanlike spars every now and then. Even the most reserved or gruff personalities find it difficult to stay in their ways when their peers are jolly."
