2nd day of the 2nd toukakan of Hofuhe in the year 678.

The Storm roared, Vinda clung desperately to the tiler trying to turn his ship away from a massive oncoming roller. Exhaution clouded his gaze and deadend his arms, but somehow the Endride moved towards safety. The great wave mostly missed the ship but still much water spilled into the hole. The battered crew tried to bail but some were some tired they could hardly move. Lighting flashed, illuminating the tattered sail and as the Thunder boomed Vinda was sure he could here laughter almost hidden by the crack.
