Many people think that the life of the crew on the ship is very boring, because the ship is so large that they stay on the ship for a long time from boarding to disembarking. Especially during the current epidemic period, the berthing crew can not go down, so it will be even more boring.
It's true, but this kind of dryness is relative. There is a saying that good living people can't be suffocated by urine. Their spare time life outside of working on board can also be rich and diverse. As long as they are willing to think of ways, there are many things they can do. Today I'll tell you.

If I say that basketball can be played on board, many people may believe it, because the deck area of many ships is relatively open. One basketball rack and one basketball can simply play basketball, but this is limited by many conditions, especially at night.
If I say that there is an indoor basketball court on the ship, many people may not believe it, but this is a fact. Although there was no indoor basketball court on the ship when the ship was built, people's potential is unlimited, and they can only think of and can't do it.
The crew is measuring the dimensions
With an indoor basketball court, the amateur life will certainly be much richer. It is a very pleasant thing to invite threeorfive people to play basketball together after dinner. Nowadays, most of the crew members on the ship are male, and basketball is a sport that everyone likes. Sometimes, except the personnel on duty, everyone comes to play basketball. There are too many people, and they need to play in groups.
Crew members on board shall draw lines by themselves
Of course, due to the limitation of the interval, the basketball court on the ship can not compare with the regular indoor basketball court. It can only make a half court. Moreover, due to the lack of space, it may not be possible to throw a beautiful three-point ball when shooting. These are not problems. They do not affect our enthusiasm for playing basketball. We should know how comfortable it is to be able to play basketball when the ship is sailing in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Generally, the basketball court on the ship is in the bosun store at the bow of the ship, and the space should be large enough. It is estimated that some smaller ships do not have such a large space to design the basketball court, so not every ship may have it.
In addition to playing basketball, you can also play table tennis. Table tennis, known as China's national ball, is very common in China. Most Chinese people can play it and like it. Compared with the basketball court, the space required for playing table tennis is much smaller. Generally, there will be a sports room on board, and there should be a standard table tennis table.
Table tennis table in the shipboard sports room
There are so many people on board who can play table tennis. Some ship captains came up with an idea. The whole ship came to a table tennis league. The participating crew members exchanged views with each other. According to the final statistics, a ranking was made. The top three will give them a drink as a reward. In this way, everyone's enthusiasm for participation will be very high, not for a small reward, but mainly for enjoying the fun and atmosphere.
When two crew members compete, other crew members who watch the battle can also guess who wins between them? The one who guessed wrong gave a bottle of drink to the one who guessed right. On one ship, our captain at that time guessed wrong for 15 consecutive times and gave out 15 bottles of drink. The angry captain never guessed winning or losing again. There is a 50% probability of winning or losing. As a result, there are 15 consecutive wrong guesses. There is no luck to say.
Ship's sports room
The above two items are the things that I met on the ship that people prefer to do after work. In particular, some crew members say that it is better to sleep at night after dinner and exercise. Many people think that the ship will be very wobbly when sailing on the sea, and it is impossible to do the above-mentioned sports.
What I want to say is that there are some cases of ship shaking, but the ship does not shake most of the time. In addition, people often drink and sing, or play online games with threeorfive people. Chinese people like card games. Tractors are also very popular on board. There are many more, I won't enumerate them one by one.

All the engine rooms I have been to are unattended. When sailing on the sea, except that the captain and the chief engineer have no fixed rest hours, the second and third officers on duty at the bridge and the chef work at a fixed time tomorrow, the other crew members only need to work 44 hours a week, that is, 8 hours a day, 6 and a half days a week, and Saturday afternoon, When there is no urgent matter, we have a rest. With such a long rest time, there are many things you can do. Exercise is the best choice.
