The house lives at sea. Men live ashore: in the chair at the barbershop, on the slip at the marina, in the gym before work, in a hotel a long way from home. Those are our Ports of Call, the places that will keep a berth for Agwe.
These 4 ports are examples
No Agwe ports are open yet. The ones below are invented to show how it will work: none of them is a real stockist, and no codes are out in the world.

The Keeper01We find the berth
A place a well-kept man already trusts. We ask the owner first; nothing goes up without a yes.
02We stock the shelf
The station that fits the place, a stack of Log cards and a sticker for the mirror.
03You enter the code
The card's code unseals that officer's entry in the Ship's Log, wherever you are.
Log cards
Every port will keep a stack of Log cards and stickers, each with a short code printed on it. Enter it here to unseal that officer's entry in the Ship's Log. No ports are open yet, so no codes are out in the world.
Where the codes will be
On the Log card by the register, on the sticker in the mirror, and as a QR that brings you straight here.
Nominate a port
The barber who does it right, the marina with the good harbor office, the gym you'd send a friend to, the hotel that leaves a light on. Tell us. Nominations stay private, and we only ask the owner, never assume.
