If your team has gone quiet, it’s not a sign of harmony — it’s a sign they no longer feel safe to speak up. Psychological safety is a leader’s responsibility. Listen. Resource the basics. Show you care — before your best people drift away. #PsychOSH

Ship agent: "WHY ARE YOU NOT BOARDING MY SHIP!! I ORDERED A PILOT AT 2100hrs!" Chief pilot: "Sir, It's 2030 and your vessel is still 140nm from the Pilot Station. ETA is 05.30 tomorrow morning. We prefer ships to be closer before we board"

0400 — Pilot aboard in a gentle drizzle off Ladysmith. Anchor aweigh, engines turning ahead as Shandon Fu Zhi steadies on course for @PortVancouver. Night folds into grey light, the coast quiet but alive beneath the rain. ⚓️🌧 #maritime #pilotage #BCCoast.

Keep hydrated and cool everyone!

Sorry for late post I forgot lol. Very strong ridge over us will bring even hotter temps and fire potential over next week or so starting Monday. Portland could easily reach 100f with up to 90f for Vancouver Seattle. I’ll do a much better post tmr lunch. #bcstorm #bcheat
