s01e02 — The Examination for Lieutenant

Damn, I thought he'd get an exam for such a feat! After all, the real situation is more important than the hypothetical one.

This is an exam. It's like I'm an archivist at ex-not saving important docks from a burning state.
Burning on the water would be an embarrassment.

Examiners in a boat are fucking cocks (not on a hair dryer). I demand an apology. No, I demand it. I challenge you to a duel.The
older actor is played by Ian McElhinney, Barristan Selmy from Game of Thrones.

The fat diplomat is played by Ian McNeice (Ian Mc and Ian Mc😄). In the TV series Dune (2000), he played Baron Harkonnen. k-ray was moving to antigrav. hangings and a joke - the fat man was lifted onto the ship as if on suspensions.

Tsar Nick. 1 because of this, he was nicknamed Nikolai Palkin.

and how did the fugitive manage to hide on the boat? They're literally sitting shoulder to shoulder there.
here again, the enemy is dying because of his stupidity. After all, a hero can't kill an unarmed man in cold blood. even a villain like in the last episode. and here there is no villain at all. but a desperate man.

Question: You're sailing on the port tack. The wind from the Northeast is strong. Dover is two miles north. The wind set at 4 points and lined the sails. Your actions?
The answer from imdb is to put the helm up, raise the mainstay and mizzen, and then shift the helm in the opposite direction to fill with wind after the sail and regain its course. After the wind is restored, the sails should be fixed and the ship's course should be directed directly in front of the wind. The wind recovery maneuver after a fall is known as "chapelling".
also an error with imdb - Dover is two miles to the north. North-east. The wind dropped by 4 points. This means that it has become easterly, and Hornblower is told that Dover will be downwind of it, but in this case Folkestone (a city 11 km southwest of Dover) will be downwind, which is eight miles from it. Unless the wind turns another 12 points with hurricane force, the tide will never bring a vessel without a mast closer to Dover.
