  Adventures on Boats

Shipmates


Shipmates are the people that go with you (called your "mate" or "crew") on your adventure. Remember you are The Captain. Sometimes it takes a little time to convince them to come with you, but your charm will eventually kick in and they will sub come to your awesomeness and end up being more excited than you. ​However, this may not happen overnight so be prepared for that eventuality.
