Taking over and handing over the watch

AUS-EC3-M2 · The Watch · AUS-EC3-M2-A Running the engine room, and running it alone

An engine room watch is a continuous state of knowledge, not a shift. When you take it over you are inheriting everything the previous engineer knew, plus everything they meant to tell you and forgot. Your job at handover is to close that gap before you accept the watch, because the moment you accept it, it is yours.
