My goal is that this is comprehensive.
If it is then it may be of some help to sailors who get too excited and start forgetting things (myself).
If it is not then additions would be very helpful.
I am uploading the .doc file and I will post the text here. I am definitely looking forward to any additions or modifications. Sign and date if you like!
