Typically, our goal is to recognize talent, nurture it and help it reach its peak, both professionally and personally. We don’t always succeed in doing that, but every now and then we surprise ourselves by discovering exceptional people whose equally exceptional on-the-job feats may seem superhuman in hindsight. We have been fortunate to have such people from among our own crew, and some of them continue to work for our clients. In this regard we depend on mentoring bright young officers with the help of a select group of veteran officers who have voluntarily reduced their sailing time to work with us and groom the next generation of winners.
