Maritime Safety, [Monday, Period Three]
Bond had *handwavily* informed his class to meet him at the docks, where he waited for them to arrive by a motorboat.
"Good morning," he greeted when they'd all arrived. "This is Maritime Safety, so if that's not the class you signed up for, you're in the wrong place. For those of you who haven't taken one of my classes before, I'm Professor Bond, and your TAs for this class are Kyle and Rose, I trust them implicitly and so should you." High praise that.
"The purpose of this class to teach you all something about how to handle yourself out on the open water," Bond explained. "But today we'll just be starting off with introductions and some basics of safety and boat handling. I want each of you to tell me and the rest of the class your names, if you can swim, what you already know about open water sailing, and something interesting about yourself. You start."
After the class had finished, he picked up a bright yellow and red vest, and continued. "Two things you should know. One, this is a personal floatation device, also known as a life jacket," he said, demonstrating the proper technique for donning one. "If you fall into the water, it will keep you afloat long enough for us to fish you out. We won't necessarily be using them every class, but we will today. Please put them on before we get in the boat."
He kept talking as they dressed in the vests. "Two, since you'll all actually get a chance to pilot the boat today, left is port, right is starboard." He held up the relevant hand for each. "The front or fore of a ship is the bow, and the rear or aft of one is the stern.Remember that, as I will be using that terminology. Now if you're all in your vests, into the boat."

He then looked around to see if anyone needed help with their vests.

Eyes squeezed shut to a squint, Toothless backed up, way out of the way of the other students. "Oh yes, you're just hilarious," Hiccup called after him, shaking his head as the dragon curled up and put his wing over his head.

Ariel was stoked. Even if she did need a second to really understand how to put hers on.
