Ferocious waves crashed against the helm of theship, causing the wooden giant to swaydangerously back and forth. The crew slippedand slid across the slick wooden deck; theirfaces full of determination. As the chilled, wildwind whistled past the sails and the determinedwaves stood tall – peering down over thescuttling crew below.
