Station: [81] Sea storm


I had told them: "Let's stay in the harbor, it's too dangerous to continue at this time of year." Nobody wanted to listen to me, everyone knew better. So we set off. Soon afterwards, we were caught in the middle of a hurricane and could no longer steer the ship. The sailors threw all the ship's equipment overboard to lighten the ship. There followed several days without sun, without stars, only the storm raging around us. The sailors threw all the ship's equipment overboard to lighten the ship.
