Bumbling Boatswain

The **Bumbling Boatswain** is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of Abyss who offers the  Ouch expression. The boatswain is found in Treasure Reef next to the gangplank for the Abyss Guide's ship. The collectibles offered by this spirit are a  Cape, a  Hair Accessory, a  Mask, and  Music Sheet 27.

## Memory

The Bumbling Boatswain spirit can be found very near the ship at Treasure Reef, where a ladder is placed like a bridge between the ship and the land. This Spirit is a standard memory with 7 memory fragments and an unlimited overall time limit.

As you relive its memory, you can see the Boatswain, accompanied by the Abyss Guide, go scavenging for stuff that might help them do repairs on the ship. They find some wooden boards near a broken boat, and take them back to the ship. While near what looks like a tent (similar to the tent offered by the Assembly Guide), some of the wooden boards fall on Bumbling Boatswain’s head, and the Abyss Guide reaches out to them, concerned.

At the end of the memory, the Boatswain uses their emote, rubbing their head in pain, as if they were saying “ouch…”
