Ship Happens

On the boat, you sometimes have pretty unusual thoughts, come across interesting fun facts, or hear little comments that are simply too good to forget. In this category, we want to capture exactly those small moments from everyday life at sea, things that happen between watches, weather changes, and work on the boat. Nothing big or polished, just the little thoughts and observations that often make us laugh. And hopefully, they might make you smile too.

Niccy is on night watch in the cockpit wearing her AirPods while Alex wakes up below deck, gets ready for his shift, and briefly goes to the toilet—with the light on. Despite the light, Niccy doesn’t notice anything and gets quite a scare when Alex suddenly appears out of the hatch.
