Sea hazards
Storms and whirlpools punish late decisions. Put a lookout on open water, turn before the hazard controls the ship, and do not start hazard crossings with weak supplies.
The lookout role exists before a hazard is on top of the boat. Their job is to call direction, not gather supplies or stare at the island behind you.
When a whirlpool becomes the main threat, survival comes from early steering and crew focus. The late fix is usually worse than the early turn.
After a bad crossing, do not immediately chase the next reward. Refill food and wood, reset roles, and only then continue the route.
