	The other way to learn sea-lore was through direct experience. Becoming a sailor required being ~~“in~~ the ~~field”~~ or, in this case, on the boat. Sailors were constantly performing the same ~~shipboard~~ movements and travelling the same routes. Through repetition, seafarers became familiar with the motions of the sailor and of the ship as it navigated different weathers and currents.
