Afloat - to find character. Every morning and evening the boys attend the ceremony of raising or lowering the colours. The pennant of the best watch of the previous day is flown below and behind the Red Ensign. A prayer is read by the executive officer of the padre, followed by barometer and thermometer readings and a general weather forecast, and then duties of the day are read out.
