The ocean is roiling, and this is what it means to batten down the hatches.
The ship’s captain has ordered that all the portholes and exterior doors be shut. Bolted shut. With actual screws and giant wing nuts. The storm is wild, and chatter amongst the passengers is that we’re changing course for a few days to get clear of the worst of it. If we don’t, the choppers might be plucked from the heli-pad up top and tossed into the southern Atlantic like toys.
This is the Roaring Forties. It’s late in the southern winter of 2008 and I finally get to see what all the fuss is about.
