Gosh

Gosh these choppy seas. They are worse than the sluggish mercurial silver seas mentioned by the sailors of Agricola in the first century AD among the romans when they circumnavigated the Scottish islands around 77 AD thereabouts. Anyway, tis choppy out here on the high seas of the Atlantic around Iceland. Lots of sailors in the water and most almost lost overboard. Many are being lost, despite our ropes around their waists. Huge waves breaking over the deck. Even seagulls are landing on the deck and floundering upon our planks. 'Tis a black day for sailors today. A black day for the king's conscience that took us here. As Will says in Henry V.
