Open Log: Big Blue Wet Thing

[goingtobeunwell]

Terrors waking that morning will find a few things amiss with the ship: 1. it's hot and humid inside their cabins, and 2. the ship itself is rocking.  Swaying, in fact, as though the ice beneath them has melted and the ship is moving. Which it is, actually, and quite quickly too. 

The holes in the side of Terror have been repaired, the rigging put up on the masts, the dual wheels of the helm moving as the ship races through the waves on its own. Up above the sun is shining brightly. 
H.M.S. Terror is sailing once more, destination unknown.

"Well," she says, "chin up for now, I'd say. We may as well take what we've been given while we can." She looks up again at the masts. "I think I fancy a climb, see what I can see. Anything I can do for you whilst I'm up there?"

Crozier laughs. "No, I'll be up later. Call down if you see anything interesting?"

"Shall do. Enjoy yourself, Francis." She grins, gives him a jaunty salute, and heads for the rigging.
