Co-ordinates
"Well now, according to my calculations, we're at least two days out of any reachable port and that port would be Messina.
With these gusts and swells, we might fly the foresail and maybe downwind 'er safely in, if the sea holds. But it could be four days, not two, that's bettin' she holds.
Just how did you get us to these co-ordinates? We should be clear sailin' in the Ionian Sea, if not in port enjoying a well serviced, delightful meal.
Forgive, what?
Direct insubordination! There are rules, Mate. You, a certified first mate, know them inside and out. How could you disregard the maps, the sextant, the compass, the manifest and expect me to overlook your errors because you know me to be a kind and forgiving Master?
Son, this storm is taking a turn for the worse and this lady's going belly-up! Best jump clear and swim.
