After the rain, VIVA WANTWANT sets sail anew
The September wind carried a touch of dampness as the fishing port bustled with preparations under the lingering rains of typhoon season. Though the skies were overcast, the crew gathered on the deck of VIVA WANTWANT a radiated a vibrant energy of their own.
After months of routine maintenance and careful inspection, the vessel—laden with hopes and purpose—successfully completed rigorous net trials and finally greet its long-awaited moment of departure.
Even as light rain continued to fall before departure, the crew remained at their posts, diligently carrying out the final safety checks under the guidance of their officers. The Chairman and Vice Chairman personally came to encourage the team, joining the officers in lighting incense and offering prayers—for a safe voyage and a bountiful return. As the smoke curled skyward, it seemed to carry with it the collective blessings of all present.
Recruiting partners, who have long treated the crew like family, stood by with pride. Rain or shine, they accompany the fishermen through drills, training sessions, and community gatherings. As the vessel prepared to depart, they watched with emotion as the crew worked in seamless coordination on deck. Their expressions mixed reluctance at parting with the joy of witnessing growth: “Seeing them set sail to work hard for their families is truly moving—and it makes us proud.”
With the mooring lines released, the pilot vessel guided VIVA WANTWANT slowly out of the harbor under the watchful eyes of colleagues and friends onshore. As the ship moved into open waters, rays of sunlight broke through the clouds—like blessings cast upon the journey ahead. On deck, the crew waved toward the shore with focused yet wistful gazes, while those on land responded with outstretched hands, weaving a poignant scene of connection and hope.
