Farewell to Cpt Marty Krog
By Matt Panighetti
Usually ships sound their horns to announce an arrival, a departure, or even impending danger – but sometimes, and only very rarely, as a sailor’s salute. On Wednesday, October 26th at 1700 the yachting community came together to blast their whistles in unison as a special send off for a fallen sailor who touched the hearts of many here and all over the world.
Martin George Krog passed away on October 20th 2022 in the comfort of his home with friends, losing an ongoing battle with his health. Marty as his friends knew him, was born Port Elizabeth, South Africa on May 13th 1962. After his army service, Marty joined a small sailing vessel out of Cape Town in 1986 and began his journey north to America where he quickly engrossed himself in the yachting community around Fort Lauderdale.
In the late 90’s he started to make a base for himself in Europe, eventually settling in Palma de Mallorca. During his sailing years he crewed and raced on notable yachts such as Shamrock V, Alexia, Aspiration, Maximizer and many more. With multiple trans Atlantics, Mediterranean, US East Coast, Indian ocean and Caribbean seasons under his belt, he rose to be a respected captain in the industry and a friend to many along the way. His departure is an immense and widely felt loss, conveyed in that rare and special sounding of the ship’s horns. A sign of deep respect for a man who was truly loved and adored, and a final farewell tribute to a yachting legend we’ll never forget. Marty will be kept alive by his stories and his family name will survive by his daughter Kayla, his sister Renee, and his nieces Shelby and Dew.
Carles G.O’D.
Just before the pandemic, Save the Med started an artistic collaboration with the Majorcan artist Carles Garcia O’Dowd (aka Carles G.O’D.), based in New York. Shortlisted in the World Illustration Awards, the Back4theFuture drawing, resulting from this unique collaboration, is a very special project both for the artist and for the foundation.
The drawing represents the foundation’s work, which focuses on marine regeneration through different projects that aim to reduce single-use plastic pollution, raise awareness about the marine environment and integrate land and sea regeneration. The art piece was printed as a giant banner to allow oral storytelling, much like medieval troubadours, and was presented during the 2022 Biennial of Thought in Palma, in the framework of the Crida de contractació de projectes de mediació 2022 CAC Palma.
Why did you decide to engage in this project?
I have always been very engaged in activism, as I believe everything is political. Brad, the founder of Save The Med, reached out to me and we had a meeting in my studio. His enthusiasm was so infectious that it only took a few minutes for me to be on board. He showed me videos of species I didn’t even know existed in the Balearic
sea.
What is your background and experience from working with communities or social movements?
During my teens I got involved in activism. I realised lots of things needed to change, and social movements are crucial for making those changes happen. I became active in the squatting movement in Barcelona, and with time my activism would bleed into my artwork and vice versa. I encountered the Beehive Design collective in Maine, USA and it showed me how activism and art can merge into something powerful. That inspired me to come back to Spain and work on collaborative storytelling graphics. So far, I have worked on a huge graphic about
abortion rights and another about the tourism industry. I also started one about human migration and borders. Activism has completely shaped my life.
How was the creative process behind this piece?
The creative process was very long and intensive. My connection to the subject matter and narratives is very personal. The first step was to meet with the foundation members, talk about their work and hear all their stories. Step two was to craft intricate mind maps with all the information and scenes that had to be drawn. The final step was to draw the image using Procreate, in a very intense process with a lot of feedback and many revisions.
“The drawing Back4theFuture is a love letter to the Mediterranean”, Carles G.O’D.
How would you define this drawing?
I think it’s a tool to deal with complexity, a testimonial of a historic moment, and a love letter to the Mediterranean.
Choose one of the scenes of the drawing and tell us why.
The prairie of posidonia on the bottom left is a great starting point to tell the story of the drawing. Posidonia contributes to create the white sand of our beaches and filters the water to make it transparent. It also captures carbon and produces oxygen, which then travels into the air that we breathe. I think photosynthesis should be a religion [laughs].
What is your relationship with the sea and how important do you think the land-sea relationship is?
I grew up diving from the rocks and exploring the sea bed. I am part of the sea, I need to be near it. I have seen the reduction of marine species and changes in the ecosystem over time. The land-sea relationship is crucial. Ecosystems are part of us and it is so shocking to see how we treat the sea as a dump and an endless extraction pit. We are still fishing in the most destructive ways, dumping untreated sewage and dangerous plastics, and promoting polluting motor boats with anchors that destroy the seabed.
Which were your “takeaways” from the presentation in CAC Ses Voltes?
That we need to do more presentations!
Mental Health First Aid Introduction
By Amanda Hewson
EEarly intervention is very important. The duration of untreated depression influences the long-term course of the depression and severity of episodes.
Once a person has had an episode of depression they become more prone to subsequent episodes. They may fall into depression more easily with each subsequent episode. For this reason, some people go on to have repeated episodes throughout their life.
To prevent this pattern occurring, it is important to intervene early with a first episode of depression to make sure it is treated quickly and effectively.
Example
You’ve been concerned about Carla, a crew member who hasn’t seemed herself for quite some time. She hasn’t been involved with things on board that she usually enjoys. You think she may be depressed. You decide to discuss it with her.
As a mental health first aid crew officer, if you believe someone is experiencing symptoms of a mental health problem, you would use the Mental Health First Aid Action Plan, discussed in the first issue 1/4 as a guide about how to approach the person and see if there is anything you can do to assist them.
Examples on what to do
When approaching someone you believe may be depressed choose a suitable time and a space where you will both be comfortable.
What if the person doesn’t want to talk?
When approaching someone who you believe may be depressed, let them know that you’re available to talk when they are ready; do not put pressure on them to talk right away. It can be helpful to let the person choose the moment to open up.
However, if the person does not initiate a conversation with you about how they are feeling, you should say something to them.
You might mention to Carla that some of the symptoms you have observed suggest that she may be experiencing depression. You could explain to her that mental health problems can make it difficult to manage work, relationships and day-to-day tasks, and that effective treatment is available.
Remember that you must respect the person’s privacy and confidentiality unless you are concerned that they are at risk of harming themselves or others.
Crises associated with depression
As you approach and engage with Carla, you also need to assess if she is in crisis and, if so, to assist with this crisis.
In the November issue of The Islander you can find part 1 of this article by Amanda Hewson, covering depression and suicide. Amanda Hewson, MSOS & Extreme Marine Medicine Trainer, has been a registered nurse and professional sailor for 20 years. She’s from a family of active sailors and has sailed extensively herself, covering 60000 nm at sea. She has nursed in the Outback with flying doctors, in refugee camps and offshore on oil rigs. She has also been the medic on multiple sailing races, the Sydney Hobart, the Fastnet, and the Rolex 600 amongst them. Amanda has a master’s degree in Marine and International Medicine, and has worked widely with a number of yacht racing campaigns around the world. Amanda comments: “This is a difficult topic and it has been quite challenging to summon the courage to make the space for it in yachting, I believe education is crucial. We can only begin to understand these issues through accurate education & making space for Mental Health issues in yachting.”
What could the crises be?
Two main crises that may be associated with depression are: • The person has suicidal thoughts and behaviours • The person is engaging in non-suicidal self-injury We will focus on helping someone who is having thoughts of suicide, next.
Myths and facts about suicide
Suicide is a significant risk for people with depression. A person may feel so overwhelmed and helpless that the future appears hopeless. The person may think suicide is the only way out. Sometimes a person becomes suicidal very quickly, perhaps in response to a trigger (such as a relationship breakup or arrest), and act on their thoughts quickly and impulsively. However, not every person who is depressed is at risk for suicide and nor is everyone who is
at risk of suicide necessarily depressed. The risk is increased if they have also been using alcohol or other drugs.
Facts on suicide
• In 2012, the suicide death rate in developed countries was 13 per 100,000 persons. While suicidal behaviours are more common in females in these countries, completed suicide is 3.5 times more common in males (20 per 100,000 for males and 6 per 100,000 for females). • According to the WHO World
Mental Health Surveys, in developed countries 2% of adults think about suicide, 0.6% make a plan for suicide and 0.3% attempt suicide over a 12-month period.
The main reasons people give for attempting suicide are:
• Needing to escape or relieve unmanageable emotions and thoughts. The person wants relief from unbearable emotional pain, feels their situation is hopeless, feels worthless and believes that other people would be better off without them. • Desire to communicate with or influence another individual. The person wants to communicate how they feel to other people, change how other people treat them or get help.
People are at greater risk of suicide if they have:
• A mental illness • Poor physical health and disabilities • Attempted suicide or harmed
themselves in the past • Had bad things happen recently, particularly with relationships or their health • Been physically or sexually abused as a child • Been recently exposed to suicide by someone else. Suicide is also more common in certain groups, including indigenous people, the unemployed, prisoners, and gay, lesbian and bisexual people.
Asking about suicidal thoughts
• If you have seen some warning signs that Carla is feeling suicidal, engage her in discussion about your observations. If you suspect she may be at risk of suicide, let her know that you are concerned about her and are willing to help. • Ask Carla directly about suicidal thoughts. • Do not avoid using the word
‘suicide’. • Ask the question without expressing a negative judgment. • Be direct and to the point.
Activity: Asking Carla if she is suicidal.
Question: If you are thinking that Carla may be suicidal, which of the following questions are suitable to ask her? We will differentiate between the right and wrong things to say.
Right
• It might be something that’s hard to talk about, but I’m worried about you. Are you having thoughts of suicide? • Are you thinking about killing yourself?
Wrong
• You’re not thinking of doing something stupid are you? • A friend of mine committed suicide. You’d never do that would you? • Someone like you would never consider suicide…would you? • You’re not thinking about taking your own life are you?
Think about what that would do to your family.
Safety concerns
If the person says ‘Yes, I am thinking of suicide’, you need to act quickly to help keep them safe.
Key points:
• A person who is suicidal should not be left on their own. If you suspect there is an immediate risk of the person acting on suicidal thoughts, act quickly, even if you are unsure. Work collaboratively with the suicidal person to ensure their safety, rather than acting alone to prevent suicide. • Remind the suicidal person that suicidal thoughts need not be acted on. Reassure the suicidal person that there are solutions to problems or ways of coping other than suicide. • Find out who or what has supported the person in the past and whether these supports are still available. • Ask them how they would like to be supported and if there is anything you can do to help. • Although you can offer support, you are not responsible for the actions or behaviours of someone else and cannot control what they might decide to do.
• For information about suicide helplines, contact the Seafarers Association.
What about professional help?
• Encourage the person to get appropriate professional help as soon as possible. • Find out information about the resources and services available for a person who is considering suicide, including local services that can assist in response to people at risk of suicide such as hospitals, mental health clinics, mobile outreach crisis teams, suicide prevention helplines and local emergency services. • Provide this information to the suicidal person and discuss help-seeking options with them. • If they don’t want to talk to someone face-to-face, encourage them to contact a suicide helpline, or Pastor Ken & the
Seafarers.
What to do?
• If the suicidal person is reluctant to seek help, keep encouraging them to see a mental health professional and contact a suicide prevention hotline for guidance on how to help them. • If the suicidal person refuses professional help, call a mental health centre or crisis telephone line and ask for advice on the situation. • If you believe the suicidal person will not stay safe, seek their permission to contact their regular doctor or mental health professional about
your concerns. • If the person has a specific plan for suicide, or if they have the means to carry out their suicide plan, call a mental health centre or crisis telephone line and ask for advice on the situation. • If the suicidal person has a weapon, contact the police.
When contacting the police, inform them that the person is suicidal to help them respond appropriately. Make sure you do not put yourself in any danger while offering support to the suicidal person. Be prepared for the suicidal person to possibly express anger and feel betrayed by your attempt to prevent their suicide or help them get professional help. Try not to take personally any hurtful actions or words of the suicidal person.
What should I talk about with a suicidal person?
People will usually be honest if they are suicidal because in most cases they don’t really want to die. Instead, they want their pain to end. If they think you can help, they will probably speak honestly with you. If you appear confident in the face of the suicide crisis, this can be reassuring for the suicidal person.
Ask the suicidal person what they are thinking and feeling. Reassure them that you want to hear whatever they have to say. Allow them to talk about these thoughts and feelings, and their reasons for wanting to die and acknowledge these. Let the suicidal person know it is okay to talk about things that might be painful, even if it is hard. Allow them to express their feelings (e.g. allow them to cry, express anger, or scream). A suicidal person may feel relief at being able to do so.
Wrong
• Other people are worse off than you. • You’ll ruin the lives of your friends and family. • It’s just a bad day, you’ll get over it.
Right
• Suicidal thoughts are often a result of a mental illness that can be treated. • I care and I want to help you. • You’re feeling really bad right now, but you won’t always feel this bad. I know you do not think so at the moment, but things will get better.
Suicide key actions
You have covered a lot of material about suicide in this module and may be finding it overwhelming. Remember you can review the material any time. It can be useful to keep in mind the following three actions. If you can remember little else, these actions can be enough to save a life. • If you think someone may be suicidal, ask them. • If they say ‘yes’, do not leave them alone. • Link them with professional help.
A final note
Do your best for the person you are trying to help. However, you should remember that despite a first aider’s best efforts, some people will still die by suicide.

The Big Wriggle: A Charity Cycling Event

Coll des Reis
The early slopes of Sa Calobra
Upper hairpins - Sa Calobra. Big Wrigglers bottom right..
Mid October E3 Systems held the fourth edition of the yachting industry-based cycling events that they host each spring and autumn on Mallorca’s most beautiful and demanding routes. The events raise money for Yachting Gives Back, the magnificent charity work of Nick Entwisle and his lovely team. This time the riders were faced with the island’s iconic and challenging climb at Sa Calobra – ‘The e3 Speedcast Fraser Yachts Sa Calobra Big Wriggle’ – a nomenclature almost as fiddly as the route itself..
The only shame was that our cycling clashed with the Roaring 40s charity golf event organised by Dan Wise (SY Mystery) at Alcanada, as I would like to have played golf with him and he would have liked to have come cycling with us as perhaps a more enjoyable part of his training for his forthcoming row across the Atlantic in the Talisker Challenge..
Around 40 captains, crews, engineers, ETOs, agents, project managers and owner’s reps joined the hosts – e3 Systems, Speedcast and Fraser Yachts - at the beautiful Es Guix restaurant near the Lluc Monastery for an early breakfast and the 40km ride over the Coll des Reis, down the insane descent to Sa Calobra for a quick breather by the sea, before the long and spectacular climb back up to the top and along to Es Guix for a hearty and very enjoyable lunch. – some being brave enough to dive into the restaurant’s beautiful natural rock swimming pool on the way to their table... Well done Steve Worrall (Atalante Group) and Soren Christensen (MY Odyssey) for your Wim Hof presentation!
These events are always entirely free of charge for the participants to enter and The Big Wriggle enjoyed magnificent additional support from our great friend Bart Noordhoek at satcom provider Speedcast and from Raphael Saleau and Steen Christensen of Fraser Yachts (always fun to have in the room..), the only request being for a donation that goes in full to support of Yachting Gives Back.
Nearly 3000 Euro was raised on the day, enough to provide the Associacio Tardor soup kitchen in Palma with a meat supply for six weeks. The meat budget is a constant worry for the Tardor volunteers, whose kitchen not only feeds hundreds of people daily but also caters for residents at their two homeless shelters Llar Kurt and Llar Inge.
This pushes the total amount raised in the four events so far over the 10,000Euro mark! A big thumbs up to all involved!
Leadership Top Tips – From Great Business Leaders
By Karen Passman
Did you ever think you would still be in yachting now, when you took that first job?! While many people start out in their careers with clear goals and aspirations, many more evolve and find themselves in positions where they are expected to motivate, teach and lead others. Not because they are naturally great leaders, teachers or motivators, but more often because they are competent and reliable.
So how do you make the move from follower to leader, from being the shining light, to helping others to shine? Simon Senik’s view is that leadership is a learnable and practicable skill and great leaders never stop learning.
Impact Crew specialises in developing Superyacht leaders, whether through individualised coaching or on board workshops for your senior crew. Give Impact Crew a call and explore the many different ways we can support you as you grow in your leadership role.

“Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.”
Jack Welch, CEO and Author. There are a few senior crew who resist passing on their knowledge and information, for fear of losing their position. However, the leaders admired and respected the most (and for whom you work hardest) are those who share their experiences and want to support you to become the best you can be.
“Act like a student. Not like an expert.” (Simon Senik – British-American author, motivational speaker and marketing consultant).
Sinek compares leading to being a parent, stating that you’ll never be an expert parent, but you keep practicing every day in the hope that you’ll get better!
We have compiled 10 top tips from business leaders and advisors that may help you when you are trying to get the best out of your crew or are unsure of the best way to handle a situation. Have a read through, and we hope that by using one of these top tips you will overcome the challenges and grow as a leader.
Never forget your responsibility – you are the caregiver of the people you lead.
“Think of leadership as a responsibility as much as an opportunity, effective leaders understand that they are responsible for everyone that they are leading.” Michael Talve – Founder of The Expert Institute. The key here is in the word caregiver, the attitude with which you lead others is paramount.
In the words of Sir Richard Branson CEO “Train people well enough so that they can leave, treat them well enough so that they don’t want to”.
You never forget those great leaders you worked for, reflect each day and ask yourself the question “would I like to be led by me?”
“Be honest and candid while still maintaining your employees’ self-esteem.”
Jeff Miller, Director of Learning & Performance. Stand in the other person’s shoes before you deliver your message and ensure it lands with the ‘right’ intention.
Show gratitude.
“Never underestimate the importance of the words ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. Using them demonstrates a level of respect that people desire and appreciate, which can help build trust.” Michael Timmes – consultant, author and speaker. Just because it’s someone’s job, doesn’t mean we cannot treat them with courtesy, respect and gratitude.
Be a confident leader, not an arrogant leader. “Confident leaders lead through values, vision and
vulnerability. Arrogant leaders lead through fear, blame and ego.” Troy Hazard TV host & businessman. Listen to your people, be empathetic and understand their views. You never know where the next great idea may come from!
Find great people, then leave them to get on with the job.
“The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good people to do what needs to be done, and enough self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it.” Theodore Roosevelt – US President. Give your people the opportunity to show how good they are, they may well do things differently to you, but you didn’t start out perfect either.
“Repeat the words, ‘it’s not about me!’ every day, multiple times a day.
Don’t make your leadership about being in charge, being right, getting promoted or looking the best.” Jeff Harmon – Author. His view is that leadership is about serving the people you lead. Give clear direction, the tools and time to do a great job, and at all times have their backs.
“The very essence of leadership is that you have to have a vision.”
“It’s got to be a vision you articulate clearly and forcefully on every occasion. You can’t blow an uncertain trumpet.” Reverend Theodore Hesburgh. If you want to unite your crew and departments, you need a single vision for the yacht that everyone buys into. If two departments’ priorities come into conflict you can revisit your vision and answer the question, what should we do to strive towards the vision?
“Authentic leadership is revealed in the alignment of what you think, what you say and what you do.”
Michael Holland - Consultant and Author. People can see through ‘fake’, be honest with yourself and your crew. It’s not about sharing your deepest secrets, but it is about leading with integrity and being true to both yourself and those around you.

How to manage Anxiety while working Onboard
by Karine Rayson
Anxiety can be a tricky thing to manage when you don’t know how. The good news is that by learning coping strategies, you can learn how to manage anxiety effectively. A lot of Crews hide their mental health issues in fear of loosing their jobs, however, unfortunately it is something you cannot keep hidden for ever. In most cases, the longer you leave mental health issues unaddressed the worse it becomes. Here are some tips for keeping your anxiety under control:
Karine has a Bachelor of Social Science in Organisational Psychology and Psychology, Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling from the Australian College of Applied Psychology and a Postgraduate in Collective Entrepreneurship from Torrens University. She helps Crew become confident leaders, master their own mental health and access a powerful network of industry leaders.
Recognise when you are anxious
Recognising when you are feeling anxious can help you to manage your anxiety. This is important because the sooner you can identify the thoughts and physical signs connected to feeling anxious it can buy you time to regain control of your thoughts and feelings. Some common physical signs are: Sweaty palms, heart palpitations, unsettled tummy.
Encourage a positive mindset
One of the most important things you can do is use affirmations. Negative thinking can increase anxiety, but positive thinking can have a calming effect. This strategy is useful for very mild cases of anxiety or can also be effective as part of a management plan once you have sought professional help.
Here are some examples of positive statements that you could use: • I am strong • My anxiety will not control me • I am going to be okay
Create good habits
Many good habits can help you manage your anxiety. Here are some of the most important ones: • Being physically active every day • Avoid drugs and alcohol • Sleeping well, especially on a regular schedule (no napping in the afternoon) • Eating healthily and avoiding processed foods as much as possible • Getting enough rest (at least seven hours per night)
Don’t be afraid to ask for help
It’s okay to ask for help. It might be hard, but it’s necessary. You can’t do everything on your own, and you should know that there are people who want to help you. Your parents, friends and crew may not always have the best advice, so it is important to reach out to a professional who can teach coping strategies. One of the most effecgie strategies that I use with my clients is cognitive behavioural therapy.
Anxiety is a tough thing to manage, but with the right help, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Anxiety is not a weakness. It’s not something you choose. It’s simply how your brain responds to the world around you. Seeking counselling is certainly an intervention that can help get results faster than struggling with it on your own.
If you are wanting support to manage your mental health, the Crew Coach as a trained counsellor, offers free 15 min discovery calls where she will offer guidance and support. You can reach out to her via www.thecrewcoach.com

October Mallorca
Charity and Network Events
By Lucie Gardiner
This year, as the Mediterranean season drew to a close, the yachting industry gathered in the October Mallorca sunshine for a week of networking, events, fun and raising money for many worthwhile causes. Here’s a round up of 3 more events that were attended by prominent yachting personalities, in addition to the Marine Inspirations Party and the Big Wriggle cycling event which are also covered in this issue.
JOYRUN : Ben Stuart, Neil Lynal, Kieran Davenport and Venelin Dimitrov
Pearls of Wisdom
Pearls of Wisdom held their third event this year, the first to be held in Palma at the Saratoga Hotel. Founder Cherise Reedman brought together women in yachting for an evening gathering of insights and fun. The event was sponsored by Marine Accounts, Mimo Connect, Divergent Yachting, Luxury Hospitality Management and Döhle Yachts.
Superyacht Charities Golf
Superyacht Charities Golf Döhle teed off the first of three consecutive industry-supported golfing days with their well-attended invite-only event held at Golf Son Vida. Next, Superyacht Charities held their inaugural golf day at Golf Son Quint in aid of ‘Yachting Gives Back’ and the Shambhala Fundacion. 140 players tackled the course and many more supporters arrived to join in the evening revelry. The BBQ, prize-giving, DJ and dancing kept the party spirit going until late in the evening. Corporate sponsors included Jotun, Northrop & Johnson, and Master Yachts
Roaring 40s Golf at Alcanada
The final golfing event of the week was held at the stunning Alcanada course and was the 2nd annual event for Dan Wise and Ian Yates’ Team Roaring 40s. A raft of sponsors including Fraser Yachts, Doyle Sails, Pinmar, Gym Marine, BM Composites and BWA contributed to a successful day whilst funds were raised in support of the Pink Ribbon Foundation, Cleanwave, Ocean Generation and Joyron charities. A sunrise breakfast preceded a full morning of golf for the 72 players on the challenging course and wrapped up with a plentiful lunch, prize-giving and live music, thoroughly enjoyed by all.
E-Touch Joyron Karting
E-Touch Joyron Karting Closing out the end-of-season week of events saw the return of the immensely popular E-Touch Joyron Go-kart Championship race day – a two-tier, exhilarating day of racing at the Magaluf Karting Track.
