A group of friends, tired of city life, had planned a relaxing boat trip to unwind. They boarded <em>The Seafarer<\/em> at dawn, bags filled with snacks and spirits high, greeted by a seasoned captain who had weathered many journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The morning unfolded like a dream\u2014calm waters, sun-drenched decks, and laughter echoing across the bay. By midday, they anchored in a quiet cove for a swim. But the wind began to rise, the sky darkened, and the captain, sensing danger, urged a swift return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sea turned violent.
