Still Lost at Sea. . .

Astra thought for a minute. "Yes, I suppose that would be extreamly upsetting seeing as I'm not a donkey," she said to Fred.

The next day, everyone was grumpy. None of them appreciated having to sleep in the saltwater that now filled their ship. They all took turns sleeping, three slept while the remaining person watched. Fred felt the others were giving him more watches than the rest.
