Rules to follow when at sea
The ship should be treated with kindness.
Donāt look deeper than you absolutely have to.
A sudden shallow means something is beneath you.
Never sail alone at night.
There are things best left unseen.
Whales are wise. Do not anger them.
You are very, very small.
There may be eyes in the fog. Donāt make contact.
Some ships sail under no flag. They are not real. Not anymore.
Occasionally, you will get a distress transmission from the Atlantic. Donāt answer it.
The sound of motors in the fog is never, ever, a good sign.
Some lighthouses move. Donāt depend on them.
Make as little sound as possible whenever your chest feels strange.
It is entirely possible to lose time at sea. Do not worry. You will remember eventually.
If the water goes murky, leave the top deck.
There may be blood in the water. Donāt look.
If you startle at nothing, it was not nothing.
There are some kinds of fog your lights wonāt shine through. When you encounter it, take a different route.
Some fjords are not for human travel.
The singing is most likely not sirens. Pray that is is not.
Never dive and expect nothing strange to happen.
If something feels off, check your ropes.
If someone shouts to you in the dark, do not reply.
Sometimes curious things knock on the hull. They will usually leave.
Nothing is ever entirely as it seems.
Moonlight on the ocean has a hypnotic effect. Donāt stare.
There will always be something watching from the coast.
When the sky turns strange colours, close your eyes. It is best not to see.
If your compass does not work, let yourself drift on the current. Something wants you gone.
