Every line on the ship answers to the bosun. He knows which rope will fray before it frays, and he keeps the deck so tight you could eat off it. His beard is the same: oiled, shaped, nothing loose. He carries a silver pipe on a chain and never raises his voice; he doesn't have to. A well-kept man is a quiet instruction to everyone around him.

Keep your lines clean.
