 Bravo Tracey and the team of Superyacht leader network, Bravo to BZ Maritime Leadership. It takes all of us to keep the talking points focused on the Positive we have and add enthusiasm to the conversation to make the subject exciting. It is exciting. Everyone on board Plus the DPA and shoreside have to commit to buying in and owning the effort to take some action every day to as we say in the Boy Scouts, Do a Good Turn Daily. Make the effort rather than the excuse. to go a bit beyond oneself to be someone who adds a bit of the positive element. This is the responsibility of the individual and all individuals involved in the team, not just for officers. There is a onus on those who are in positions of authority to rise above the authority and be conscious positive leaders. It's important to bear the torches, remember sometimes it pays to put the torches under a few backsides to help stoke the fires. Effective leadership can be tough. The fact is all-too-often, safety may often not feature adequately on the radar screen – one more minefield with apparently mystical dimensions. As with any shipboard issue, some leaders want to be popular and take decisions that stakeholders want to hear rather than what’s right. Everyone can benefit from a easy read https://lnkd.in/eCM7__XQ I just love giving homework. Semper Paratus

🚢 Friday the 13th: A Day of Superstition in the Maritime Industry 🌊 Happy Friday the 13th! While many consider this day to be unlucky, it’s particularly significant in the maritime industry. Historically, sailors have been known to be quite superstitious, and Friday the 13th is no exception. 🔍 Did you know? Sailing on Fridays: Traditionally, sailors avoided setting sail on Fridays, believing it to be an unlucky day. The Number 13: The number 13 has long been considered unlucky, and this extends to ships. Some vessels avoid having a 13th deck or even a 13th lifeboat. The Legend of HMS Friday: There’s a popular maritime legend about the British Navy commissioning a ship named HMS Friday to dispel the superstition. The ship was supposedly launched on a Friday, commanded by Captain James Friday, and set sail on its maiden voyage on Friday the 13th. Unfortunately, the ship was never seen again. Bananas on Board: Bananas were considered bad luck on ships. This superstition dates back to the 1700s when ships carrying bananas had to sail quickly to prevent the fruit from spoiling, leading to fewer fish being caught and more accidents. Whistling on Board: Whistling was believed to “whistle up a storm.” Sailors avoided whistling to prevent bad weather. Renaming a Ship: Changing the name of a ship was thought to bring bad luck unless a special de-naming ceremony was performed. Red Sky at Morning: The saying “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight; red sky in the morning, sailor’s warning” was used to predict the weather. A red sky in the morning was seen as a bad omen. Cats on Board: Cats were considered good luck on ships as they kept the rodent population in check and were believed to have magical powers to protect the ship. While these superstitions may seem quaint today, they remind us of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the maritime industry. Whether you believe in the superstition or not, it’s fascinating to see how these beliefs have influenced maritime culture. Wishing everyone smooth sailing and good luck today! 🌟⚓ #FridayThe13th #MaritimeHistory #Superstition #ShippingIndustry #MaritimeTraditions

Imagine Captain Jack Sparrow & The Rime of the Ancient Mariner in one image. That was the exact feeling on a Sunday... Why? The 93-year-old Italian Navy training ship, Amerigo Vespucci, is circumnavigating the world from 2023-2025, visiting ports and building friendships, strengthening diplomatic and cultural relationships globally. Seafarers have historically discovered new lands and established trade routes, weaving cultures together and turning the world into a melting pot of stories and traditions. Standing in line for 3-4 hours to board this masterpiece, I watched the sunset while admiring a tradition that has sailed through nearly a century. From its exquisite craftsmanship to its voyages across the seas, it embodies stories of exploration, resilience, and human connection. Picture the mischievous charm of Captain Jack Sparrow blended with the haunting verses of Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner—where the albatross symbolizes both burden and redemption. These narratives carry timeless insights into culture, community, and the power of shared purpose. Onboard this legendary ship are 250 Italian Navy crew members, upholding the philosophy that "Rome wasn’t built in a day." They are stewards of a tradition that continues to inspire. So, when someone asks, What makes a community? It’s the people, the culture, the stories, and the invisible thread that unites humanity. We draw inspiration from legends who created legacies and passed down their vision, each generation adding its own flavor to craft something new and enduring. And if you’re wondering whether this philosophy applies to the professional world: it absolutely does. When members unite under a common cause, whether on the deck of a ship or in a boardroom, they create movements, drive change, and leave an impact. #VinEatRepeat Community is more than a strategy—it’s the heartbeat of progress. #Community #Leadership #Culture #Legacy #Growth #Inspiration
