4. A Canadian ferry with a crane on it is at the same wharf as you, you:
a) Get up at 5.45am to take photos of it and watch it leave. You wake up everyone else and tell them ‘not to miss this very special Canadian experience'.

12-18
You are Maya

Wow are you lazy! You want to do everything the easiest way possible. You don’t know what you’re doing, but you know you’d like to get off the boat. Now.

19-25
You are Mike

You’re active and always like to be doing something useful. You’ve been a mechanic, a carpenter, worked for the army and you’ve skinned a kangaroo, so you know how to figure stuff out for yourself. This might be your toughest adventure yet.

26-32
You are Dave

An eternal optimist, you love sailing and everything about it! You’re social, and want to share your passion for Canada with everyone. You’re lucky to be alive because your crew is plotting ways to throw your overboard.
