STAGE 7 -- WHILE ON BOARD JOURNEY

Job at sea is extremely demanding, but is a rewarding career. You may find sailing monotonous as you stay on

board for a long period of time, but there are ways to keep yourself cheerful while at sea. Discover the

many ways to enjoy while working at sea

ALWAYS REMEMBER WHY…

Working on board may be challenging, but never fail to remember your purpose, on
why you ventured abroad: for your dreams, for your future, for your family. Holding
on to this in your heart will help you maintain your focus and motivation while

performing your job at sea.

KEEP HARMONIOUS RELATIONSHIP...
On board, you share a unique relationship with the people you work with. You can
celebrate special occasions with your co-seafarers but remember to party

moderately and responsibly. You may also try non-electronic pastimes like board
games with them -- remember old school never gets old. You will discover how

such activities can build up camaraderie among your fellow seafarers.

STAY CONNECTED...
Keep connected with your loved ones, the daily ritual of connecting with them

through social media and free messaging apps can go a long way in keeping your
mind at peace. Maximize the internet whenever possible. Communicate with your
family, get in touch with them.
