|
6. geographers |

They are chosen by destiny |

I also agree with the idea given by chloe of the people that record the amount of resources and events on the boat because they can have a better plan of their water, food or other things if they are recorded. Number:[3]
I think it is also important to think about the weight on the boat, which is illustrated by Rebecca. The boat may flip if there are too many strong and heavy people in it.
