Grooming before the Sun (Day 1, PreDawn)

[Hida Musasha]

Having learned his duty roster the morning before, Musasha rises well before the Rooster. He climbs up on deck, nodding to the few crew who were on guard duty during the wee hours.

He sits down at the railing with his bucket, and removing his shirt, and setting it aside, he lowers the bucket to get some seawater to wash with. He brings it back up, and washes his chest and back with his soap and rinses clean with the salty seawater.
