Not allowed forward of the cockpit outside. Is told to be quite when coming into dock and leaving.

Now for others,
I have a safety briefing - break the rules and you don't go out again with me. So far no one has broken the rules.
When we have other children aboard they will be expected to follow the boat rules. I will go over them in detail. Should they break any of them, see the above for breaking the rules.
We have a thorough briefing on our rules for all new guests regardless of age.
