You enter the dining room where everyone is having
lunch and say loudly that you've got something to say; everyone
remains silent. You explain to them what has happened and ask explicitly
for their support. A group discussion is aroused and, after a while,
Debra- a quiet girl who studies political science- speaks: "I
think there's nothing we should do. This is none of our business.
It may be a question of bad manners or perhaps just a mistake or
a misunderstanding but it is very embarrassing to us all and I really
believe you are to solve this matter in private".
The rest of the crew agrees with Debra and you are
left to think this over on your own. At first you feel upset because
you have made a fool of yourself before the others and, on second
thoughts, how do you react?
You leave the yacht the next time you
call at a harbour.
You forget about the whole thing- Debra
may be right after all!
You stay on board but you don't talk to anyone
during the rest of the voyage.
