When Whaling Captain's wives are at sea, they do what every wife does when she accompanies her husband on a journey.
They tell him what to do, not to get dirty, not to look at other sailor´s wives, which course to steer and which whale to fire their harpoons at.
Naturally they also complain about the rolling of the ship, the bad food, the rats, the smell of the rotting whales, the sea, the wind, the seagulls making too much noise at 0300 and so on.
This is why captains usually try to leave their wives at home when going whaling. There they can re-arrange the house, get a boyfriend, spend the money their husbands brought home from the last journey, meet other captain´s wifes, get drunk in the evening and do crochet and embroidery.
