The day of the 28th, the ship began preparing for departure. This meant stripping the 鈥渟ave all鈥 net and raising the gangway around 1800 as well as preparing the ship to make fast with the tugboats. After unlashing the net, the group of cadets gathered the net and folded it for easy deployment at the next port.

Simultaneously the bow and stern mooring lines were let go from the dock and faked on deck, so they do not get tangled when they need to be used again. On the bridge Cadet 3rd Mate Solomon Kaupu maintains the bell book, and he was also in order of the Engine Order Telegraph. The bell book is extremely important as it is a record of all orders given to the main engines from the bridge
