The Straits of Magellan


My fleet of Ships has suffered from this bloody place. The Marigold sunk into the depths, with the sea claiming all the crew. The Elizabeth in behind us in the straits and our crew has not seen here for days. I fear the worst has happened for her. Water washes onto the ships deck every few minutes, as we fight our way against the wind. Only luck has prevented a leak from occurring. We have suffered now casualties in these straits. The only concern I have is the amount of food and water that is still available, for is those are gone, the crew is sure to mutiny again.
