Imagine that you are with your partner in a small boat in the middle of a calm lake. In the distance, a storm is starting. What will you do first?

Select an answer:

I start paddling back to the shore and explain why it makes sense. I remain silent, waiting for what my partner will do, and I watch the sky. I suggest that we hide in a nearby cove and discuss our plans. I start to panic, but I try to hide it. I'll leave the paddling to my partner, I'll watch the nature and I believe we can manage it.
