We got caught up in a hell of a storm after we crossed the Strait of Magellan. Took everything we had just to wash up here.

The fleet I put back together at San Julián got torn apart, until the only ship left was the Golden Hind.
[k]
＠Drake
Almost out of food, not a penny to our names...not that it'd help since, y'know, no markets nearby. So nothing but seal here for days just to survive.

Me, I found it exciting. I'd never have had a[sr]chance to eat seal if I'd lived a normal life.

And my ship was still seaworthy, so it wasn't[sr]a complete loss, given my nautical skills.

Besides, if I'd turned back now,[sr]that idiot Thomas would've died for nothing.

So I decided to jump from the frying pan into[sr]the fire and make this place my crossroads.
