Traveler's notes

I swear, not in my whole life have I ever seen such waves. Ten, twelve, fourteen feet! And the wind - why, it shook the mast and battered the sails so they were near about to fly off. Rocks everywhere, currents treacherous... Helmsman said we'd pull through, that he'd seen worse and come out all right. Me, I'm not so sure. If the storm don't calm soon, this tub's going to break in two.
