摘要：	For those who eventually come to the realization, sometimes after a lengthy delay, that being a "galley creature" no longer suits them and career advancement is a more suitable path, there is another big drawback. Valuable time wasted when you are a galley creature cannot be recouped. Particularly if steering is what you want to do, you are really hurting yourself by not using your time productively. This may not be apparent at the time and it likely won't be understood without a detailed explanation and regular reinforcement, which is why it is the norm. Most of the time captains, mates or towboat pilots (on the Western Rivers), when operating on inland waters or the Great Lakes, also serve as their own federal pilot (known as "acting-as-pilot" and often incorrectly referred to as "recency"). This is where the required 12 complete round trips with a barge in and out of a given port or through a waterway while serving as either an observer or a supervised helmsman comes into play. In addition, if you are acting-as-pilot during hours of darkness, at least four of those 12 roundtrips must have been during darkness hours.
