Ship-wide Elemental Survey and Seth by Trinity and Sydney

Thursday, 31 July 2025
Noon Position: (Lat and Long): 20° 0.02’N 155° 49.9’ W
Ship Heading (degrees): At anchor
Ship Speed (knots): At anchor
Taffrail Log (nm): No log. Why? At anchor
Weather / Wind / Sail Plan (from 1300 Watch Change): So windy, almost blew away. Also sunny.
Description of Location: Hapuna Bay (yet again at anchor)
Elements shape the world. They also shape the people on this ship, and Seth. There are four elements, commonly known as Earth, Water, Fire, Air (If you haven’t seen Avatar, get out from under that rock).
Avatar Elements
Earth = Stability, Practicality, and The Physical World
Water = Emotions, Intuition, and The Flow of Life
Fire = Energy, Passion, and Transformation
Air = Intellect, Communication, and The Mind
Zodiac Elements
Earth = Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Water = Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Fire = Aries, Sagittarius, Leo
Air = Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Word Bank: Earf = Earth
People (and Seth) on the ship were asked by Trinity and Sydney to determine which element they feel embodies their mind and soul. That is step one to this survey. Step two of this survey is to correlate star signs with their choices and see how they connect. Step three is Seth.
Here are our findings…
The Students
Ava: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Fire (Leo)
Matt: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Water (Pisces)
Hudson: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Fire (Sagittarius)
Maya: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Air (Gemini)
Amira: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Water (Pisces)
Trinity: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Fire (Aries)
Erin: Avatar Element = Fire, Zodiac Element = Fire (Leo)
Juliet: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Air (Gemini)
Lake: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Air (Gemini)
Hana: Avatar Element = Air, Zodiac Element = Water (Cancer)
Helene: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Earf (Capricorn)
Abby: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Fire (Aries)
Sara: Avatar Element = Earf, Zodiac Element = Earf (Capricorn)
Faith: Avatar Element = Fire, Zodiac Element = Water (Pisces)
Mimi: Avatar Element = Earf, Zodiac Element = Air (Gemini)
Zadie: Avatar Element = Fire, Zodiac Element = Air (Libra)
Akil: Claims to be spirit avatar but settles with…Earf. Zodiac Element = Air (Aquarius)
The Crew and Seth
Vix: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Air (Gemini)
Paul: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Water (Cancer)
Tyler: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Air (Gemini)
Süpi: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Water (Pisces)
Skyler: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Earf (Taurus)
Sydney: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Water (Scorpio)
Seth: A little defensive when asked to choose his element. Would give no real answer. Potentially element-less. Is his name even Seth? Is he a spy?
It’s now been 24 hours since the survey was launched. Still no clear response from Seth. He says he is all of them, but some of B watch say this answer is a cop out (Sydney and Trinity agree with this assessment). B watch is turning on Seth. Since Trinity and Sydney have been studying him for a week and feel we know him best, we have concluded he is Air. After countless and brutal interrogations, and 48 hours later… he has finalized his answer. His gut tells him Earf but has “air tendencies” (his words not ours). Still seems unsure about the question, Zodiac Element = Earf (Taurus maybe?) Also confused about star sign.
Raechel: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Air (Gemini)
Zoe: Avatar Element = Air, Zodiac Element = Fire (Leo)
Destiny: Avatar Element = Fire, Zodiac Element = Fire (Aries)
Sara: Avatar Element = Air, Zodiac Element = Fire (Sagittarius)
Kanoe: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Air (Aquarius)
Angi: Avatar Element = Water, Zodiac Element = Earf (Taurus)
Heather: Avatar Element = Fire, Zodiac Element = Earf (Virgo) (Hudson: “that is SO her”)
Captain Rebecca: IS THE AVATAR (will fight Akil for this title) #AkilvRebecca, Zodiac Element = Water (Pisces)
Conclusion: After extensive analysis and much scientific deliberation, Trinity and Sydney have determined everyone on this ship loves water. Makes sense.
……. and Seth is, well, Seth. Like, subscribe, and comment down below what you think Seth’s element really is.
Also, saw some dolphins today on the way back from snorkel trip, that was sick. – Trinity
P.S Hey Süpi’s parents!
