The Energiser

Energisers walk in and the whole galley shifts. A super skill when you feel good, but this can be destructive when you don’t feel good.

The Anchor

When the you-know-what hits the fan, the Anchor will bring clarity and calm. A natural leader, you can give too much to others. Learn how to anchor, without the drag.

The Guardian

You see the weather shift four hours before anyone else checked. But can you see how your mood could affect the whole boat?

The Catalyst

When things are stuck, you have a natural way of being able to solve problems quickly. But what about when you feel bored or unchallenged? Know how to lead with the right vibe.

The Alchemist

You hold what nobody else can hold. The crew move through things better when you are there. But not everything needs transformation. Know when it’s your skill and when it’s not.

The Architect

The operations run because you refuse to let them slip. But you also need flex and flow. Know how to adapt.

The Challenger

You say what everyone is scared of. But there is a time and a place for your challenge. Learn how to harness it without shutting down relationships.

The Navigator

You know what is coming before the data does. That kind of knowing can’t be trained, but it can get tiring and overwhelming onboard. Learn how to manage the pressure.

ROTATION · ANONYMOUS · SAMPLE POST

Promised a proper rotation by someone. Nine months later, I’m still waiting for the ‘proper’ part.

THE SEASON · ANONYMOUS · SAMPLE POST

Best crew I’ve ever worked with on that boat and I’m leaving anyway. It isn’t the work. It’s never been the work. It’s the owner.

LIFE ON BOARD · ANONYMOUS · SAMPLE POST

I love this life. I also need a day where I’m allowed to switch off. Our captain doesn’t agree. Both can be true.
